About this Event
We invite you to join us on November 9th at the Uhuru House (1245 18th ave. south, St. Petersburg Fl.) to celebrate the life and legacy of comrade sister Assata Shakur.
"From the African People’s Socialist Party we salute the legacy of Comrade Assata Shakur, a fierce warrior of the Black Revolution of the 1960s, a relentless fighter for African people, a leader of the Black Liberation Army and esteemed resident of the People’s Republic of Cuba at the behest of President Fidel Castro for more than 40 years.
Police bullets could not stop her; Pr*son walls could not hold her; U.S. courts could not convict her. Decades of billboards on the New Jersey turnpike offering a $2 million reward for information on her whereabouts never produced a snitch. Like a fish in the sea of African people, Assata Shakur represented the brilliance and courage of African resistance."
- Chairman Omali Yeshitela
In our salute and celebration of Comrade Assata, we also recognize that the revolutionary struggle to which she dedicated her life has not yet reached its conclusion and there is no greater way to honor Assata than to build the African revolution. We call on all members of the black and freedom loving communities to come out for a night of celebration and organizing to make sure that Assata's vision of a free and liberated African people is realized. We'll see you there!
