>March, Protest, and Demonstration in the Nations

>Capital, Washington, D.C. on August 17, 2002. This

>demonstration will honor Marcus Mosiah Garvey on the

>115th Anniversary of his birth.

>The Trans Atlantic Slave Trade, Slavery, and Jim Crow

>set the stage for the 21st Century. The policy of

>entrenched racism has emanated from all branches of

>the United States government, from the days of the

>auction block to the recent United States walkout of

>the United Nations World Conference Against Racism

>held in Durban, South Africa. The United States

>government has relentlessly held on to its white

>supremacist ideology.

>The exploitation of African people in this country has

>taken many forms through the years. The centuries of

>chattel slavery laid the foundation of our

>relationship to America. From the sharecropping fields

>to the factories, African labor built the "super

>power" that is the United States. In return, we have

>endured the terrorism of the Ku Klux Klan, systematic

>lynchings, chain gangs, plantation prisons, police

>torture and murder, poverty, miseducation, inadquate

>housing, unemployment, welfare WEP programs, ACS child

>kidnappings, voter discrimination, crack, heroin,

>Rockefeller drug laws, Political Prisoners, and the

>assassination of our leaders. However, we're still

>here!!!

>The demand for reparations for African people is just

>and simple. It is simply an attempt to "repair," to

>"make whole" the descendants of the victims of the

>Trans Atlantic Slave Trade, which was a CRIME AGAINST

>HUMANITY! Crimes against humanity have no stature of

>limitations. And our people still suffer from the

>vestiges of their enslavement and colonization.

>We are going to the Capitol of the United States,

>built on slave labor, the rightful and only place to

>declare our human and legal right to REPARATIONS.

>THEY OWE US!!!

>We must Struggle for Self-Determination !

>We must Fight for Liberation !

>Every African in American owes it to him/herself to

>support the fight for REPARATIONS
