RBG On the History of Black August with Concept and Program-IN COMMEMORATION ...RBG Communiversity
The document discusses the history and concept of Black August, which originated in California prisons in the 1970s. It commemorates significant events in August related to the Black liberation struggle, including attempts at liberation and sacrifices made by Black freedom fighters. Events chronicled include the deaths of Jonathan Jackson, George Jackson, and Jeffery Gualden in August 1970, 1971, and 1978 respectively. The document outlines the five tenets of the Black August program, which include fasting, abstaining from intoxicants, political/cultural study, and wearing a black armband as symbols of resistance and tribute to those who died fighting for Black liberation.
The document summarizes civil unrest in America during the 1960s. As progress was made on civil rights, black communities grew increasingly impatient and hostile towards perceived injustice. Riots broke out in cities like Newark and Detroit in 1967 in response to police brutality and inequality. Militant black nationalist groups called for violence, while moderate leaders struggled to restrain unrest. The riots highlighted racial tensions and economic disparities between white and black communities.
The Motorcycle Diaries depicts Ernesto "Che" Guevara's 1952 South American journey that helped shape his views and inspire his revolutionary ideals. While the film portrays this formative period accurately and was praised for its cinematography, it provides an idealized view of Guevara that does not fully acknowledge his later controversial and violent actions in Cuba. As a revolutionary figure, the real Guevara was more complex than the youthful idealist presented in the movie, which is criticized by some for glossing over the full reality of his legacy.
The document summarizes key events and movements in the 1960s Civil Rights era in the United States, including the emergence of the Ku Klux Klan after the Civil War to oppose racial integration, key figures like Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X who advocated for civil rights, and pivotal moments and court cases that advanced desegregation and voting rights. It also discusses theories around the assassination of John F. Kennedy and the people involved like Lee Harvey Oswald and Jack Ruby.
The Beat Generation was a literary, cultural, and artistic movement that began in the 1950s in response to post-World War II consumerism and conformity. Key figures like Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, and William Burroughs criticized issues like the Vietnam War, racial discrimination, and sexual oppression through their works. They popularized themes of nonconformity, experimentation, and questioning traditional values, influencing Western culture by breaking from mainstream society.
Che Guevara - The Motorcycle Diaries vs his storyAimee H
Ernesto "Che" Guevara was born into an upper-middle class family in Argentina in 1928. As a young man, he embarked on a motorcycle trip through South America with a friend that opened his eyes to poverty and colonialism. This experience led him to embrace revolutionary ideals and join Fidel Castro's rebel forces in Cuba. As a key leader of the Cuban Revolution, he helped overthrow the Batista regime. However, he later left Cuba due to disagreements over foreign policy and attempted to spark revolutions in other countries, which led to his capture and execution in Bolivia in 1967. His legacy remains highly controversial, with some viewing him as a hero and others as a terrorist.
Late 1940s literature saw a boom in book sales, with non-fiction novels about WWII thriving and most fiction exploring the postwar society. Notable works included Dr. Spock's Commonsense Book of Baby and Child Care and Shirley Jackson's The Lottery. The 1950s saw a rise in science fiction and novels examining the conflict between individuals and conformity. The 1960s reflected political and social issues like the civil rights movement in Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird. Literature in the 1970s explored a society drifting from spiritual roots, while the 1980s saw the rise of popular non-fiction bestsellers. Overall, American literature reflected the themes and culture of its time period.
This document provides biographical information about Ernesto "Che" Guevara in 18 sections. It details his early life growing up in Argentina, his travels through South America which helped shape his views, his role in the Cuban Revolution alongside Fidel Castro, and his eventual death fighting for revolution in Bolivia at age 39. It also mentions that since his death, Guevara has become a legendary political figure representing rebellion, revolution, and socialism, and continues to inspire attainment of independent nationalism around the world.

I apologize for the inconvenience.
During World War 2, racism emerged between Americans and Japanese. The Japanese were viewed as sub-human and dehumanized. They were imprisoned and stereotyped. Stereotypes portrayed Japanese as small, primitive, childish and crazy. Both Americans and Japanese felt they had to dehumanize the enemy to make killing them easier. Racial tensions rose in the US as whites targeted Japanese with signs calling for them to be hunted. It took the entire war and more to reduce the stereotypes between Americans and Japanese.
The document summarizes methods used by Nazi Germany during the Holocaust to persecute and murder millions of Jews and other minority groups. It describes how victims were killed through asphyxiation with poison gas, shooting, or being burned alive. Concentration camp conditions involved little food or water, overcrowded barracks, and cruel treatment of prisoners. Doctors performed live dissections and experiments on inmates. The purpose was to systematically exterminate victims in horrific ways.
The document lists 22 significant events in Black history that changed Black America, including:
1) The graduation of the first Black cadets from flight school in 1942 and their first combat mission in 1943.
2) Blacks being elected to Congress in 1942 and 1944.
3) The Supreme Court ruling against "White primaries" in 1944.
4) Over 1 million Blacks serving in the armed forces during World War II, with many returning to college on the GI Bill.
5) Jackie Robinson breaking the color barrier in Major League Baseball in 1947.
Ernesto "Che" Guevara was a controversial Marxist revolutionary from Argentina who helped Fidel Castro overthrow the Cuban government in 1959. As a leader in Cuba, he advocated for communism and sought to spread revolution throughout Latin America. In 1966, he went to Bolivia to train local communists but was ambushed and killed by Bolivian soldiers aided by the CIA in 1967. Though his methods were uncompromising and sometimes violent, Guevara became a iconic symbol of anti-imperialist struggle and a leader who was dedicated to his political causes.
Beginnings of the Civil Rights MovementSpiro Bolos
The Civil Rights Movement document provides background information on the origins and early phases of the Civil Rights Movement in the United States. It discusses the preconditions that enabled racial change, including ideological shifts, economic growth, and Supreme Court decisions like Brown v. Board of Education. It also describes some of the key organizations and leaders that advocated for desegregation, such as the NAACP and Martin Luther King Jr., as well as early protest tactics like the Montgomery Bus Boycott.

Booker T Washington’s autobiography, Up From Slavery, offers an interesting glimpse in what it was like to be born a slave, live through the tumultuous Civil War era, and as a young man to experience the consequences blacks faced with the end of Reconstruction when the Ku Klux Klan night-riders enslaved the former black slaves anew through terror by lynching them, burning their bodies and their farm and their churches, suppressing them and denying them justice, even denying them the ability to defend themselves in daylight through the courts.
Booker T Washington gives us a fascinating look into another world in another time, he goes from being an illiterate slave to running a major college, fund raising and socializing with the most powerful and wealth businessmen and philanthropists of his day.

Booker T. Washington's Up From Slavery and The Life of Frederick Douglass
https://amzn.to/3ja2ITo
Ernesto "Che" Guevara was a revolutionary born in Argentina in 1928 who became a symbol of revolution. He studied medicine and traveled through South America, experiences that radicalized his views. He joined Fidel Castro's rebel army in Cuba's revolution against Fulgencio Batista in the 1950s. After the 1959 revolution succeeded, Guevara held several positions in Castro's new government. He eventually left Cuba to foment revolution in Congo and Bolivia, where he was captured and executed in 1967 at the age of 39. Though controversial, Guevara remains an iconic figure of leftist ideology and anti-imperialist struggle.
Ernesto "Che" Guevara was an Argentine Marxist revolutionary, author, physician, and guerrilla leader. He played a key role in Fidel Castro's Cuban revolution and helped Castro overthrow the Cuban dictator Fulgencio Batista in 1959. As a leader in Castro's new government, Guevara helped implement new economic policies and spread communist ideals internationally. However, he grew disillusioned with bureaucracy and sought to spread revolution abroad. His attempts to foment revolution in the Congo and Bolivia failed, and he was ultimately captured and executed by the Bolivian army on October 9, 1967.
The 1960s saw the rise of a counter-culture movement in response to social and political events of the decade. The civil rights movement achieved some successes through legislation but continued to face violent resistance from white communities. Figures like Martin Luther King Jr. advocated non-violence, though the government response was at times still brutal. Meanwhile, other groups began advocating more confrontational tactics in the fight for racial justice and social change.
The South may have lost the Civil War, but they won the culture war. The South was able to convince many of the Lost Cause myth, that somehow the Southern causes was a noble cause, that the Civil War was not fought over the issue of slavery, that the Civil War was fought over state’s rights, and that Southerners were benevolent masters whose slaves accepted their lot in life happily. Furthermore, the history of Reconstruction where blacks gained civil liberties and voting rights equal to whites was seen as a dark time in American history, that blacks showed themselves to be totally incapable of citizenship, utterly incapable to hold public office, manipulated by corrupt Yankee carpetbaggers and traitorous Southern scalawags.
One of the first historians to challenge this view was WEB Dubois. His history, Black Reconstruction, argued that blacks were able to make great strides during Reconstruction, and that Reconstruction was a bright, promising era for democracy. Although Reconstruction faced daunting problems, great strides were made in race relations, education, public health, and in establishing fair and just governments across the South, in spite of the rising racial violence caused by the KKK and similar groups, often aided by Southern sheriffs. These gains were reversed by the Redemptionists after the end of Reconstruction, robbing the blacks of their voting rights, allowing the South to build the Jim Crow system of racial violence and discrimination and subjugation that would last until the Civil Rights era.

This document summarizes and analyzes a speech given by anti-nuclear activist Helen Caldicott at Northern Michigan University in 1986. It notes that Caldicott was the most visible anti-nuclear activist in the 1980s, appearing frequently in media. Her trademark "bombing run" speech used shocking imagery and passion to warn of nuclear dangers but lacked practical solutions. While her style attracted many activists and media attention, her disdain for America and careless facts ultimately limited her effectiveness in influencing policy change.

This document summarizes and discusses a viewing of the documentary film "The Abolitionists" that took place at Nova Southeastern University's library. The summary critiques the film for largely omitting the contributions and perspectives of African Americans in the abolitionist movement. While the film featured some prominent abolitionists like Frederick Douglass, it only included two black voices and portrayed the movement as something whites did for blacks, rather than a joint struggle. The discussion after the film further highlighted this issue. Historians whose works focus on the key roles of black abolitionists had been consulted for the film but their perspectives were left out.
The Revision and Origin of Black August, by Kiilu Nyasha (2012)RBG Communiversity
This document discusses the origins and evolution of Black August, which was originally organized to honor Black revolutionaries who died fighting against racism and oppression. It summarizes the socialist and internationalist views of George Jackson and others. It argues some have revised Black August's meaning for self-promotion rather than upholding its revolutionary principles. It traces Black August back to resistance among Black prisoners in the 1960s led by figures like George Jackson.

'Stalin and the Jewish Anti-Fascist Committee - A History of the Emotions Int...Ian Doyle
This document provides an introduction to Ian Doyle's MA thesis on the history of the Jewish Anti-Fascist Committee (JAC) in the Soviet Union from its establishment during World War II until its dissolution in the early 1950s. The introduction outlines the key events and issues that will be examined in the thesis, including how the JAC served as an "emotional refuge" for Soviet Jews during the war but later came into conflict with Stalin's increasingly anti-Semitic postwar policies. It also reviews the relevant historiography on the history of emotions and concepts like "emotional regimes", "emotional refuges", and "emotional communities" that will provide the framework for Doyle's analysis.
The new Jim Crow(Alexander pp 95-120) The thought of ma.docxoreo10
The new Jim Crow(Alexander pp 95-120)
The thought of mass incarceration and crime has been directly associated with being black.
Being black was somehow linked to being a criminal, a potential criminal or a drug dealer
educated, or not all black people were covered with this blanket of judgment. White ex-convicts
had a better chance at rebuilding their lives when out of prison than the blacks since no matter
what they did or how they changed they were still viewed as a criminal and faced all sorts of
challenges one being stigmatization. It seemed to be that whiteness mitigates crime and
blackness define crime. Black youth faced a myriad of challenges because of their skin color;
they were considered suspects, detained, exclusion from employment and housing, denial of
educational opportunity, and some were pushed out of schools through racial bias school
policies. For the black youth, their first arrest or interrogation was like a rite of passage since it
was considered as being ‘made black.' Mass incarceration, however, shouldn’t be considered as
the new Jim Crow since the two are said to have a number of differences to them. Mass
incarceration like Jim Crow was both as a result of racial opportunism, individuals and
institutions such as the legal system took advantage of the racism factor and, as a result bent over
sideways and turning a blind eye to the fact that the blacks were most affected by the mass
incarceration, the blanket judgment of all blacks as criminals justified the incarceration. The Jim
Crow era believed that African Americans were morally and intellectually inferior and seen to be
slaves and could not be considered equal to whites in any way. Mass incarceration like any other
caste system has been supported primarily by racism, the lack of care for people of other races.
Incarceration in the article has been attributed to a number of things; such as racial bias and
discrimination, politics of respectability has been widely adopted such that for the blacks to be
considered equal then they must prove it by getting an education and working hard and having
equally influential jobs, and this has caused the ‘successful’ blacks to shun their fellow blacks
who are poor and cannot afford an education as them. The politics of respectability does not take
away the blanket of judgment from the blacks and does not solve the mass incarceration it does
not end the racism. Civil rights groups have also fallen victim to the politics of respectability by
only telling stories of racial injustice that evoke the sympathy of the whites clearly distancing
themselves from those convicted and stigmatized daring not to step outside their comfort zone
and ruffle feathers. All in all, the main issue is not about the race of the people standing, seating
or living next to us or working with or for us it all boils down to caring for all the people we see
regardless of their race once we care ...
George Jackson was a revolutionary Black nationalist imprisoned in San Quentin for over a decade. He became politicized in prison and emerged as a powerful voice and author. His growing influence and the trial of the Soledad Brothers threatened the prison system. On August 21, 1971, authorities at San Quentin assassinated George Jackson, claiming he tried to escape with a gun. However, their story was full of inconsistencies, and the gun was later found to have been planted by the FBI as part of the COINTELPRO program, indicating direct involvement in Jackson's murder. George Jackson's assassination was meant to silence his revolutionary voice and ideas.
How does contemporary representation compare to previous time periodsBelinda Raji
Contemporary representations of black British people in media have changed from previous eras in three key ways:
1) Earlier films from the 1950s-60s portrayed black immigrants as a "social problem" and threat to British society, seen through a white directorial lens, whereas now black British people are no longer solely represented as such.
2) Representations in the 1970s, like in Horace Ove's "Pressure", shifted to a black perspective showing issues like racism and discrimination, rather than a migrant perspective.
3) More recent films and TV shows like "Adulthood" and "Day 1" focus on disaffected youth across London influenced by black culture, moving
1) The document discusses the term "peculiar institution" which was used by Southern intellectuals to refer to slavery, demonstrating some unease with the institution.
2) It argues that Northerners were also racist, as shown by their doubts about how well-educated former slave Frederick Douglass could be rather than questioning if blacks had the same intellectual capabilities as whites.
3) Douglass was arguably more effective in influencing the status of African Americans a century later during the civil rights movement rather than during his own time, due to the pervasive racism even among Northern abolitionists.

Dr. Amos N. Wilson_The Battle Must Be Joined | A Revolutionary PoemRBG Communiversity
This document calls for joining the battle against racism through direct action and confrontation. It states that true change requires risking defeat, fighting "hand to hand" through institutions and traditions, and creating a new world order through rebuilding and restoring what has been destroyed. The battle must be fought through the mind, spirit, will, money, technology, and physical confrontation if needed. Ultimately, change depends on ordinary people taking up the challenge and making this new world their own.

Imperialism 101_ Chapter 1 of Against Empire by Michael ParentiRBG Communiversity
This document provides an overview and analysis of imperialism. It discusses how imperialism has shaped world history over the past few centuries through the colonization and oppression of indigenous peoples. While imperialism has had massive impacts, it is often ignored or sanitized in mainstream discourse. The document examines the economic drivers of capitalist imperialism, how it has exploited the land, labor and resources of the global south for profit. It also debunks common myths used to justify imperialism, such as the notion that colonized regions were inherently poor or culturally backward.
This document outlines standards and guidelines for members of the African People's Socialist Party. It discusses that Party members must be committed to serving the people and struggling for African liberation, unity, and socialism. The Party aims to educate the masses and lead them in struggles to solve their problems and undermine the imperialist system. The document explains the Party's revolutionary strategy and role in developing the political consciousness of the people through organizing struggles. It emphasizes the importance of discipline and subordinating individual interests to serve the Party and liberation movement.
This document contains multiple quotes from Malcolm X on a variety of topics:
1) Malcolm X criticizes those in the black community who are too comfortable with their current situation and unwilling to push for further progress and change.
2) He expresses that while he is against racism and discrimination, he does not view himself as an American due to the oppression black people face in the U.S.
3) Malcolm X emphasizes the importance of black unity before trying to unite with other groups, and calls for greater understanding between black people to overcome divisions.
This document summarizes key points from Dr. Amos Wilson's book "Blueprint for Black Power" regarding economics and Afrikan nationalism. It discusses Wilson's argument that an African American/Caribbean/Pan-African bloc could generate significant black power to counter white and Asian power networks. It also analyzes potentially powerful black institutions and advocates for greater use of financial tools and institutions to promote economic empowerment. Wilson asserts that true black power requires ownership and control over critical resources like property, wealth, and organization, rather than just political offices. The responsibility of the African American community is to ensure Africa's economic development and invest in rebuilding Africa.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

“The month of August gained special
significance and importance in the Black
Liberation Movement beginning with a
courageous attempt by Jonathan Jackson
to demand the freedom of political
prisoners / prisoners of war which the
Soledad Brothers’ case were the center of
attention”
We call ourselves New Afrikan because of the degree of force breeding and miscegenation we as a people have
suffered, as well the cultural imperialism and the psychological plunder and rape of our affinity to Afrika, stripping
away our Afrikan language, art and world outlook. And national oppression, which in our efforts to combat, has
created a national heritage rich in resistance based on the two ideals of integration and separation. These
experiences which have left us stripped of our Afrikanist perspective, and despite miscegenation and cultural
imperialism, culminated into an Afrikan national heritage in the Diaspora, creating the New Afrikan Independence
Movement.”

On August 7, 1970 Jonathan Jackson, William Christmas, James
McClain, and Ruchell Magee were gunned down at the Marin County
Courthouse. Ruchell Cinque Magee remains the sole survivor of that bid
for liberation; he also remains a POW at Folsom prison doing life.
Though this rebellion was put down by gory pigs and their agents it was
internalized within the hearts and minds of the people on the outside in
the larger prison as well as those in the concentration camps (prison),
internalized in the same fashion as we honor other heroic African
Freedom Fighters, who sacrificed their lives for the people and the
More 2006 Classic liberation.
From Voxunion You Tube
On August 21, 1971, almost exactly
a year following the slave rebellion
at Marin County Courthouse, George
L. Jackson (older brother of
Jonathan Jackson as well as one of
the Soledad Brothers) whose
Black August 2006 (part 1)
freedom was the primary demand of
the Marin rebellion, was assassinated
at San Quentin prison in an alleged
escape put forth by prison
administration and the state to cover
its conspiracy. Comrade George
Jackson was a highly respected and
Black August 2006 (part 2) purposely influential leader in the
Revolutionary Prison Movement.
Jackson was also very popular
beyond prison, not only because he was a Soledad Brother, but also because
of the book he authored appropriately entitled “Soledad Brother.”

This book not only revealed to the public the inhumane and
degrading conditions in prison, he more importantly, correctly
pointed to the real cause of those effects in prison as well as in
society, a decadent Capitalist system that breeds off racism and
oppression.
On August 1, 1978 brother Jeffery “Khatari” Gualden, a Black
Freedom Fighter and Prisoner of War, captured within the walls
of San Quentin was a victim of a blatant assassination by
capitalist-corporate medical politics. Khatari was another
popular and influential leader in the Revolutionary Prison
Movement.
An important note must be added here and that is, the Black
August Concept and Movement that it is part of and helping to
build is not limited to our sisters and brothers that are currently
captured in the various prison Kamps throughout California. Yet
without a doubt it is inclusive of these sisters and brothers and
moving toward a better understanding of the nature and
relationship of prison to oppressed and colonized people.
So it should be clearly understood that Black August is a reflection and commemoration of
history; of those heroic partisans and leaders that realistically made it possible for us to survive
and advance to our present level of liberation struggle. People such as: Nat Turner, Harriet
Tubman, Gabril Prosser, Frederick Douglas, W.E. DuBois, Marcus Garvey, Paul Roberson, Rosa
Parks, M.L. King, Malcolm X, and numerous others in our more contemporary period. It must be
further clarified that when we speak of “Culture Development,” we are not advocating Cultural
Nationalism and/or merely talking about adopting African names, jewellery, dashikis, etc.

Our primary interest lies not only in where we came from, but the nature of “WHY” we were
forcefully brought here, understanding the character of “CONTINUOUS” struggle with the
recognition that it is a Protracted struggle and developing the necessary lifestyles to guarantee its
success

Most standard history books tend to either play down or ignore New Afrikan resistance as a
factor in the destruction in the slave economy. On the other hand, when one understands New
Afrikans are still an oppressed nation; the reason for such deception becomes clear. Black
August contends that not only was such resistance a factor in the destruction of the slave
economy, but New Afrikan resistance to slavery continues to inspire New Afrikan resistance to
national oppression. Herbert Aptheker (the author of “American Negro Slave Revolts”) recounts
the personal remark of one New Afrikan involved in the civil rights struggle:
“From personal experience I can testify that American Negro Slave Revolts made a tremendous
impact on those of us in the civil rights and Black Liberation movement. It was the single most
effective antidote to the poisonous ideals that blacks had not a history of struggle or that such
struggle took the form of non-violent protest. Understanding people like Denmark Vessey, Nat
Turner, William Lloyd Garrison etc. provided us with that link to our past that few ever thought
existed.”
Black August contends that from the very inception of slavery, New Afrikans huddled illegally
to commemorate and draw strength from New Afrikan slaves who met their death resisting.
Black August asserts that it is only natural for each generation of New Afrikans faced with the
task to liberate the nation, to draw strength and encouragement from each generation of New
Afrikan warriors that preceded them. It is from such a rich heritage of resistance that Black
August developed, committed to continuing the legacy of resistance, vowing to respond to the
destruction of colonial oppression with our George Jacksons, Malcolm X’s, and Fred Hamptons
etc.
New Afrikan resistance moved decisively into the 1920s and 1930s. Evidence of this was
movements like: The African Blood Brothers, The Share Croppers, The Black Bolsheviks, etc.
Unduly there is an incorrect tendency to confine the discussion of African Nationalism to the
well-known Garvey movement as the sole manifestation of national consciousness. The Garvey
movement was the point of the emerging politics of New Afrikan resistance.
In labor, national consciousness, (i.e. literature, jazz, art, etc..) in the struggle for the land, in all
areas of politics, like a great explosion of previously pent-up National Consciousness took place
among New Africans.

The sixties was a further example of New Afrikan resistance to national oppression. It should be
emphasized here that struggle of non-violence was at that time a strategy of illegality, of danger,
of arousing New Afrikans to direct confrontation with the colonial oppressor. Whether it was a
sit-in at a segregated lunch counter or bus station, the movement deliberately broke the colonial
law.
Inevitably the anti-colonial struggle moved to a higher level, growing beyond the initial stage of
non-violent civil rights protest. Non-violent civil rights strategy was tried and discarded by New
Africans, who found that it was a failure, incapable of forcing an entrenched settler’s colonial
regime to change.
Black August purports that it is important to briefly mention such events to counter the colonial
propaganda that the riots of the 1960s was due to anger brought on by overcrowdedness and
summer heat. Black August asserts that in order for New Afrikans to arise to the historical task
of defending the Nation, it is imperative that New Afrikans have a historical perspective of
themselves resisting colonial oppression.
Black August avers that at a time when the Black Nation is experiencing the destruction of its
community through planned gentrification, at a time when the quality of New Afrikan life is
being blunted through unemployment, prison, drugs, high infant mortality and poverty, the call
of New Afrikan organization should be one of resistance.
Black August is the antithesis to “celebration” and empty “homage.” Black August attempts to
place struggle and sacrifice on center stage. In this respect, Black August summons all
progressive people who identify with the legacy of resistance to colonial oppression by actively
participating in Black August. Thus during the entire month of
August in commemoration of those Africans who have made the supreme sacrifice for the
cause of African Liberation and reflect upon the significance of those contributions as well as to
draw closer to the continuing necessity for resistance, we embrace the following as tenets to be
practiced during Black August.

The Five Tenets of the Black August Program
1. A fast which historically has been used as an expression of personal
commitment and resistance. Hence, from the sunrise until evening meal we
will abstain from eating.
2. We abstain from consuming any type of intoxicants for the entire month of
August. The necessity for this should be self-evident for all serious
participants of Black August.
3. We limit our selection of television and radio to educational programs, i.e.
news, documentaries and cultural programs, etc.
4. During BA we emphasize political and cultural studies for individuals
involved in BA. Participants in BA should pair off with someone else you
know to study and share knowledge of African Affairs.
5. As an outward expression of BA we wear a Black arm band on the left arm
or wrist as a tribute to those Africans who have died as a result of their
sacrifice for African Liberation. The arm band can be worn either on the
inside or outside of your clothing.
Black August (BA) is a revolutionary concept. Therefore, all revolutionaries, nationalists and
others who are committed to ending oppression should actively participate in Black August.
Such participation not only begins to build the bridges of international solidarity, but it is
through such solidarity that we strengthen ourselves to struggle for victory.
