GAINESVILLE, FL--On March 7-8, 2015, the Uhuru Solidarity Movement (USM) will host its National Convention, “Break the Silence! Refuse to Be Complicit!” in the city of Gainesville, Florida. USM is the organization of white people committed to taking responsibility for our own history as beneficiaries of oppression and to building a principled relationship with African people and oppressed peoples everywhere. USM is not a white-led organization. We work under the leadership of the African People’s Socialist Party. We are white people who answered the call of the African People’s Socialist Party (APSP) to organize in the white community for reparations to African people. In this period, U.S. imperialism is in a serious crisis, as the oppressed peoples of the world strike at the heart of this oppressive and parasitic system. Colonized peoples — from the barrios, ghettos and reservations of this country to the people of Occupied Palestine — are changing the course of history with their courageous fight-back for national liberation. As the parasitic U.S. economy and social system comes apart, the African People’s Socialist Party is fighting for the right of African people to self-government and self-determination: political, economic and social control over their own lives and resources. The demand for reparations is intensifying on every continent. We believe that reparations are due to African people inside the U.S. and around the world. The governments of the U.S. and Europe, along with the lives of white people in general, are built on a platform of slavery, genocide and colonialism.
