Omali Yeshitela: If Jesus Was A Revolutionary, How Can Your Preacher Be Such An Uncle Tom?

Fiery, uncompromising and courageous, Omali Yeshitela is a revolutionary who has struggled and led the movement for African liberation over the past 40 years. Leader of the Uhuru Movement, and Chairman and founder of the African People's Socialist Party, Yeshitela continues to be on the frontlines of struggle. He is building African-worker controlled institutions, developing ground-breaking political theory, writing countless books and articles, speaking worldwide, fighting for reparations, galvanizing allies, influencing the popular culture and bringing African people together to liberate Africa and all its resources. Omali Yeshitela has faced arrests, trials, imprisonment and personal sacrifice in his struggle to complete the Black Revolution of the Sixties. Chairman Omali never stopped building fighting organizations in the interests of the African working community. He survived the US government's attack on the Black Power Movement of the 1960s that imprisoned, assassinated or silenced most black revolutionaries by driving them underground. For this he has been called "the last man standing." Omali Yeshitela: Built and chairs the Black is Back Coalition (BIBC) for Social Justice, Peace and Reparations, a broad-based organization spanning the spectrum of African organizations in the US. The BIBC first exposed the neocolonial Obama administration in Nov. 2009 with the demands to stop US imperialist war around the world and against the African community inside this country. Was honored by the University of South Florida at a major event in January 2010 unveiling the largest university collection of Yeshitela's books and writings anywhere in the world. Made reparations for African people a household word after he launched the first International Tribunal on Reparations for African People in New York in 1982. The Tribunal ruled that African people are owed $4.1 trillion in reparations for stolen labor alone. Built the African Socialist International that held founding conferences in Sierra Leone and Kenya in 2009.
