ASPE: From DC to the Diaspora: African Liberation Day and the Struggle for Power

This Assata Shakur Popular Education session, in conjunction with the Black Alliance for Peace-DC, will explore the history and political significance of African Liberation Day as a global expression of Pan-African unity, anti-colonial struggle, and Black self-determination. Together we will examine how liberation movements across Africa and the African Diaspora challenged colonialism, imperialism, and political repression while building movements rooted in collective power and international solidarity. The session will also connect these struggles to present-day conditions facing Black working-class communities in Washington, D.C., including displacement, disenfranchisement, and the fight for community control.
