1A. Quotation Food for Thought: “For twelve years Nazi Germany inflicted horrors upon European Jews. And Germany paid. It paid Jews individually. It paid the state of Israel. For two and a half centuries, Europe and America inflicted unimaginable horrors upon Africa and its people. Europe not only paid nothing to Africa in compensation, but followed the slave trade with the remapping of Africa for further European economic exploitation. (European governments have yet even to accede to Africa's request for the return of Africa's art treasures looted along with its natural resources during the century-long colonial era.)”
― Randall Robinson, The Debt: What America Owes to Blacks

Tune in to “Black Star News Show” on WBAI 99.5 FM Radio and www.wbai.org Tuesday August 25, 2020 at 3PM (US) Eastern Standard Time as Host Milton Allimadi interviews an African psychologist about mental illness and African-centered healing processes, on top of the hour. Dr. Mawiyah Kambon is co-founder of Black Therapy Central www.blacktherapycentral.com and a practitioner and promoter of African-centered healing processes. She’s a trained psychologist with more than 30 years in the profession. She says the “Western” Eurocentric methodology doesn’t address the conditions, the history, and the experiences of African peoples. Dr. Kambon has also been organizing healing journeys to Ghana for Africans in the Diaspora for decades.
On the second half-hour of the show, Allimadi speaks with Theo Rogers, a young filmmaker from Milwaukee, Wisconsin whose debut documentary “Milwaukee In Pain” examines the explosive collision between COVID19 and the historical systemic racism, segregation, and impoverishment of Black people in Wisconsin. African Americans make up about 25% of the population in Milwaukee county but accounted for about 50% of the COVID19-related deaths. As if this wasn’t enough, on Sunday, an unarmed African American male was shot multiple times in the back by police in Kenosha, Wisconsin.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
MXCC Presents ‘Hold The Flag High!
A Special Black August Virtual Appreciation!
Spotlight’s Panther Political Prisoner Russell ‘Maroon’ Shoatz!
On Saturday, August 29th, 2020, the Malcolm X Commemoration Committee (MXCC) will host another powerful virtual roundtable...“Hold The Flag High! A Special Black August Virtual Appreciation!”...Live! On Facebook at 4pm.
This gathering will honor the Centennial Anniversary of the Adoption of the Black Liberation Flag by Marcus Garvey’s Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA). It will honor the UNIA’s Centennial of their First International Convention of the Negro Peoples’ of the World, and it will honor the 50th Anniversary of Jonathan Jackson’s bold ‘Extraction Mission’ in Marin County Courthouse where he sought to free several Soledad defendants by force of arms!
Panther political prisoner Russell‘Maroon’ Shoatz, who is fighting Colon Cancer and for his freedom, will be the special political prisoner spotlight. Incarcerated now for 49 years, he just turned 77 on August 23rd.
Persons wishing to contribute to Relief Efforts for Mr. Shoatz can make contributions at https://www.paypal.me/PPOWs
These monthly forums, with their political prisoner spotlights, are an effort by the organizers to make up for their not being able to host their annual political prisoner dinner benefit that they have proudly hosted over the last 25 years because of the Covid19 Pandemic.
Special guests for this engaging dialogue will be Prof. Akinyele Umoja, author of We Will Shoot Back, Monifa Bandele, Policy Director of Movement For Black Lives and formerly of the Black August Hip Hop Campaign, author activist Asha Bandele, and Raymond Dugue, the 2nd Assistant President General of the UNIA-ACL.
Professor Umoja will historicize Jonathan Jackson’s bold action. Monifa Bandele, who will be coming off of a one-day national convention for the Movement For Black Lives, will talk about those important current organizing efforts and will recall the Black August Hip Hop project that sought to bring together Conscious HipHop between Cuba and the United States. She will also recall the pivotal presence of exiled political prisoner Nehanda Abiodun, who passed away recently and who played an important role, in that cultural work effort. Asha Bandele will tell of her moving story on political prisoner Jalil Muntaqim and how NY Attorney General Letitia James wrongly blocked his recent release from prison after 49 years. Incredibly, Muntaqim, now 68, contracted Covid19 and nearly died upon the denial of his release. Raymond Dugue will discuss the epic achievements of Marcus Garvey’s organizing legacy. In underhanded efforts to derail his mass appeal in the United States, Garvey was framed for Mail Fraud and became the first Black political prisoner of the Modern Age!
The adoption of the Black Liberation Flag took place at that epic first International Convention on August 13, 1920 in Madison Square Garden. Even though Mr. Garvey would endure the ordeal of being framed, sent to prison, becoming the first modern Black political prisoner, and then deported, the UNIA would go on to host eight International Conventions, the final being in 1938.
Black August was launched by the Black Panther Party to honor George and Jonathan Jackson who were killed within a year of each other, and to encourage organized support for political prisoners. Jonathan was killed in that ill-fated mission 50 years ago on August 7th, 1970. George Jackson, the legendary author of The Soledad Letters and Blood In My Eye, was killed in an Uprising at San Quentin Prison on August 21st, 1971.
In recent years, serious PanAfricanists have broadened the significance of Black August to remember horrible expressions that are representative of violent racial oppression, such as the lynching of Emmitt Till on August 28th, 1955, the tank and bulldozer attack by Philadelphia police on MOVE on August 8th, 1978, the savage beating and sodomizing of Abner Louima by NYPD on August 9th, 1997, and the recent spectacle police killing of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri on August 9th, 2014. It has also come to include an appreciation of a broad range of profound resistance to oppression ranging from Nonviolent Direct Action Campaigns like the Defiance Campaign of Black South African women against Apartheid’s hated Pass Laws on August 9th, 1956, to urban Uprisings like the Watts Rebellion of August 11-15th, 1965, to the epic Slave Uprisings of Nat Turner of August 21st, 1831 and the launching of the epic Haitian Revolution on August 14, 1791, and to also honor the birth of organizing legends like Carlos Russell, who gave us Black Solidarity, who was born on August 6th, 1934,Marcus Garvey born on August 17th, 1887, Fidel Castro born on August 13, 1926 and Fred Hampton born on August 30th, 1948.
