Omali Yeshitela-- RE: Barak Obama: WHITE POWER IN BLACK FACE
|
Orateur dynamique et puissant, le théoricien brillant, le Président du Parti Socialiste des Africains , le fondateur du journal de Lance Brûlant qui a publié continuellement depuis les années 60.
Auteur du nouveau livre puissant, Une Afrique! Une Nation!
40 ans de direction, leadership hardi et engagement inébranlable à la lutte pour l'autodétermination de la communauté africaine.
Autrefois connu comme Joseph Waller, le jeune leader ardent de la Junte d'Organisations Militantes (JOMO) dans les années 1960, Omali Yeshitela est aujourd'hui un vétéran dans la lutte pour la liberté Africaine, donnant la continuité et l'expérience au mouvement de libération d'Africains comme il reconstruit dans le 21e siècle.
Un théoricien révolutionnaire et un orateur fascinant, Yeshitela affirme que l'africain et d'autres peuples opprimés dont le travail(la main-d'œuvre) forment le piédestal des ressources et de la richesse sur lequel se repose les mondiaux occidentaux, est maintenant dans une position stratégique pour passer au-devant de la crise économique et sociale d'aujourd'hui.
Il a forgé une stratégie pratique pour la libération africaine qui a été saluée par des leaders du Zaïre, du Rwanda, de la Côte d'Ivoire, le Sud-Africain et l'Angleterre à la conférence 1997 du Socialiste Africain International.
Aux Etats-Unis, le Président Omali Yeshitela a construit le Parti Socialiste des Africains (APSP), fondé en 1972 pour "Compléter(Achever) la Révolution Noire".
Depuis ce temps l'APSP a établi la Maison d'Uhuru la Communauté Noire organisant des centres dans tout le pays; fondé le Mouvement Uhuru Démocratique Populaire national (InPDUM) pour défendre les droits démocratiques de la Communauté Africaine; et institutions économiques construites contrôlées et destinées à la classe ouvrière africaine, comme la Gymnastique Noire d'Uhuru à St.-Pétersbourg, en Floride, le siège social national de l'APSP'S.
Après le meurtre d'un automobiliste africain Tyron Lewis à St.-Pétersbourg,par la police en Octobre 1997, l'InPDUM a construit un modèle pour la lutte à base de communauté réussie(fructueuse) pour arrêter la brutalité policière, y compris la mise en place d'une Coalition de Direction(Leadership) Noire américaine dont Yeshitela est membre.
Le président Omali sert aussi d' avocat pour les interets des travailleurs Africains et les personnes ayant fai de faibles revenus, sur la Commission Consultative du Citoyen établie par HUD le Secrétaire Henry Cisneros pour administrer des sommes d'argent de subvention(d'octroi) fédérales à la suite de deux rébellions communautaires africaines de la dernière chute(automne). Selon Cisneros, Omali Yeshitela est "une personne qui touche, qui ouvre une voie sérieuse.
J'ai découvert une personne réfléchie qui avait des choses importantes à dire."
Le président Omali Yeshitela est disponible pour des entretiens(interviews) et des engagements parlants. Contactez Uhuru Voyage à 727-894-6997 ou info@burningspearuhuru.com
Dynamic and powerful speaker, brilliant theoretician, Chairman of the African People's Socialist Party, founder of The Burning Spear newspaper which has published continuously since the 60s.
Author of the powerful new book, One Africa! One Nation!
40 years of bold leadership and unwavering commitment to the struggle for the self-determination of the African community.
Formerly known as Joseph Waller, the fiery young leader of the Junta of Militant Organizations (JOMO) in the 1960s, Omali Yeshitela is today a veteran in the struggle for African freedom, giving continuity and experience to the liberation movement of African people as it rebuilds into the 21st Century.
A ground-breaking theoretician and riveting speaker, Yeshitela contends that African and other oppressed people s whose labor and resources form the pedestal upon which the wealth of the western world rests, are now in a strategic position to lead the way out of today's economic and social crisis. He has forged a practical strategy for African liberation that was hailed by leaders from Zaire, Rwanda, Ivory Coast, South African and England at the 1997 conference of the African Socialist International.
In the U.S., Chairman Omali Yeshitela has built the African People's Socialist Party (APSP), founded in 1972 to "Complete the Black Revolution". Since that time the APSP has established Uhuru House black community organizing centers around the country; founded the National People's Democratic Uhuru Movement (InPDUM) to defend the democratic rights of the African community; and built economic institutions controlled by and benefiting the African working class, such as Uhuru's Black Gym of Our Own in St. Petersburg, Florida, the APSP's national headquarters.
Following the October, 1997 police murder of African motorist Tyron Lewis in St. Petersburg, the InPDUM has built a model for successful community-based struggle to stop police brutality, including the building of an African American Leadership Coalition of which Yeshitela is a member. Chairman Omali also serves as an advocate for the intersts of African working and poor people on the Citizen's Advisory Commission established by the-HUD Secretary Henry Cisneros to administer federal grant monies in the wake of the last fall's two African community rebellions. According to Cisneros, Omali Yeshitela is "a person who touches livesin a serious way. I found him a thoughtful person who had some important things to say."
Chairman Omali Yeshitela is available for interviews and speaking engagements. Contact Uhuru Tours at 727-894-6997 or info@burningspearuhuru.com

One Africa! One Nation!
The African Socialist International and the movement
to unite and liberate Africa and African people worldwide
(July 2006, 382 pages)
A historic collection of presentations explaining why Africa and all its resources must be liberated and in the hands of African workers and peasants in Africa and everywhere.

Omali Yeshitlea
Speaks:
African Internationalism, Political Theory for our Time
(June 2005, 380 pages)
In a down-to-earth, easily understood style Yeshitela lays out the most profound concepts of his ground breaking, revolutionary theory of African Internationalism which exposes why African people are impoverished and catching hell everywhere on the planet while the white world is powerful and prosperous. Yeshitela's analysis from the point of view of the enslaved explains the nature of parasitic capitalism which is built on and maintained by slavery, genocide and colonial domination. With his vision for a positive future, the Chairman lays out his bold plan to liberate Africa and African people everywhere. With a foreword by Luwezi Kinshasa.
Available from Burning Spear Uhuru Publications
Social Justice and
Economic Development for the African Community:
Why I became a Revolutionary
(1997, 28 page pamphlet)
In this concise pamphlet Chairman Yeshitela gives an autobiographical account of how he came to the conclusion that he must dedicate his life to the struggle for African freedom. Written after the St. Petersburg, Florida police murder of an African teenager during a traffic stop and subsequent rebellions, Yeshitela presents concrete proposals for black community economic development as opposed to the failed policies of police containment and brutality which plagues African communities throughout the U.S. This piece appeared first as a lengthy article written by Yeshitela in the St. Petersburg Times.
Available from Burning Spear Uhuru Publications
The Dialectics of Black
Revolution:
The Struggle to Defeat the Counterinsurgency in the U.S.
(1997, 39 page pamphlet)
This popular and very relevant pamphlet reveals the "dialectical relationship between our own [African] impoverishment and the wealth and well-being of white people." The Chairman's Dialectics challenges the old time-worn formula for the development of capitalism that has been put forward by the white left and exposes it as white nationalist, colonialist and incorrect. Chairman Yeshitela then documents how the African community today is the target of a U.S. government counterinsurgency war which is responsible for the police containment policies that justify the police murders and brutalization of black people.
