QUOTATIONS OF "BLACK"

"Whenever I use BLACK it relates to some history of Africans in that particular place. It’s the idea of the color BLACK as a metaphor, or as a representation of African-Americans. It’s the notion of BLACK- BLACKNESS - and all its other meanings in relation to the history of race..."

- Fred Wilson

"Most of my fortitude to continue doing the work comes from the moral outrage I feel about the injustices that Black people endure disproportionately daily."

- N. Abdul-Wakil

"In the end, what matters is not skin shade but pan-African consciousness. Loving your complexion, your nose, lips, hair length and texture, no matter what the politics or trends decide, and simply be. That's the problem with us (African folks). We're still learning how to love ourselves. So used to glorifying others and putting others first..."

NAKO-NY Presents A Community Forum For
The New York State Freedom Party
With Councilman Charles Barron
Sunday, Oct. 17th, 2010 / 3PM - 6PM

NEW YORK CHAPTER
of the
NATIONAL ASSOCIATION of KAWAIDA ORGANIZATIONS

On Sunday, October 17th, 2010 the New York Chapter of the National Association of Kawaida Organizations (NAKO) presents a community forum with the New York Freedom Party.

On Monday, June 14th, 2010, New York City Councilman Charles Barron stated that the Democratic party chose to put together an all-white statewide party, in spite of the fact that New York's population is multiracial. Barron vowed that he would begin to organize a protest bid for governor for the state of New York. Freedom party officials stated that the purpose of this new political party is to create a state-wide vehicle through which the average poor and working people can be organized into a powerful collective voice and have their issues addressed.

Some of the questions to be addressed will include the valid effectiveness of a third party, strategies for organizing state wide, honest efforts to develop coalitions among varying interest groups and fund raising tactics.

Candidates and officers appearing to speak and address concerns will be Charles Barron candidate for Governor and candidate for Lt. Governor, Attorney Eva M. Doyle and Co-Chair of the New York State Freedom Party, educator Jitu Weusi.

This event will take place at the Afrikan Poetry Theatre (APT) from 3pm to 6pm. APT is located at 176-03 Jamaica Avenue in Jamaica, Queens, New York 11432.
