Teaching the communities how to Breathe Again


                       Dr.  Martin  Luther  King,  Jr.  a  year  before  his  death  illustrates  the  Human
                       Rights  civic/economic  justice  dilemma  in  his  book Where  Do We  Go  from
                       Here - Chaos or Community? Writes ”White America was ready to demand
                       that the Negro should be spared the lash of brutality and coarse degradation,
                       but it had never been truly committed to helping him out of poverty, exploita-
                       tion or all forms of discrimination”. What Dr. King’s book refers to is the 1960
                       reform laws are just respectful behavior illusions of good social responsible
                       manners.

                       Think about our regions historical call of Harambee and the  Black Arts Festi-
                       val has over 5o years mobilized the Arts the life blood of any culture. Apply-
                       ing  Black Power  collectively looking after our rights and liberties  of Ameri-
                       ca’s minority citizenry.

                       Today you’re here witnessing history of African American in the region col-
                       lectively taking its next  step in  the civic right movement. Arms lock together
                       building  a trade exchange right in the streets of the East End of Pennsylva-
                       nia; to help compensate  for both lose of income, and to offer a remedy and
                       bring to an end exploitation and the dis-ease profit brings when controlled by
                       racism, and outrageous fortunes.

                       The call of Harambee today is to brand Ujima cross the whole East End of
                       Pennsylvania;  the  spirit  of  the  Black  Panther  a  tradition  of  Black  Cultural
                       Pride and Unity working together taking responsibility for the matters of Black
                       Lives.
