The time has come for black people to take our future into our own black hands. The Democratic and Republican parties of Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump have both made it clear that they do not represent the interests of our people.

No amount of pleading and whining has resulted in either of the parties of the white ruling class including our impoverished and brutalized people on their agendas.

On November 5th and 6th the Black is Back Coalition for Social Justice, Peace and Reparations will host our very own National Black Convention to launch our own National Black Political Agenda for Self-determination.

Our Black People’s Convention will be a Convention of resistance beginning with a rally and march on the White House on November 5th. Fittingly, the rally portion of our Convention will be held at Malcolm X Park (Meridian Hill Park) and it will allow the thousands of black people who had no voice in the Democratic and Republican conventions to step out from the shadows of oppression and speak for ourselves.

There will be mothers, friends and relatives of victims of police murder and violence with placards and pictures of their loved ones, many of whom will be able to stand and tell the world of their pain and their intention to pursue our own agenda for redemption, power and reparations.

Following our march on the White House, our Convention will convene across the street at Lafayette Park where more speakers will address the people.

On Sunday, November 6th, the Convention will move indoors to the Blackburn Center at Howard University where we will unveil and celebrate our National Black Political Agenda for Self-determination that the Black is Back Coalition for Social Justice Peace and Reparations adopted at our August 13 and 14 Preparatory Conference in Philadelphia.

The Black is Back Coalition has endeavored for the seven years of our existence to build a movement that will forge our own anti-imperialist agenda for black self-determination.

In addition to our opposition to the U.S. drone assassinations in Pakistan, Afghanistan and Africa, our Coalition denounced the U.S. looting of Haiti and the UN colonial occupation of our heroic people on that island.

The Black is Back Coalition damned the war against the Mexican and other Indigenous people within the current borders of the U.S. that rests on stolen land of a people who experienced near-genocide in the creation of the U.S.

We were in Ferguson and Baltimore as a part of the black struggles being waged against a regime of police murders of our people that has finally assumed a political character thanks, in no small measure, to the work of our Coalition.

The Black is Back Coalition is the only organization that responded to the incessant police murder of our people with a coherent demand of Black Community Control of the Police at a national conference held in Ferguson/St. Louis, Missouri in 2015.

It was our Coalition that denounced the mass imprisonment of African people that continues to destabilize our impoverished communities and functions as another arm of white colonial terror.

We have created Working Groups to respond to the numerous political prisoners that have given their all for our freedom; we have organized a Health Working Group that is responsive to the health issues that are endemic to our colonial condition.

The issue of reparations is also given concrete political significance through the work of the Coalition Working Group dedicated to that task.

The Black is Back Coalition has achieved the most important task of uniting a diverse sector of the black community that, despite our ideological and political differences, has agreed to principles of unity that demand self-determination for our people and an anti-imperialist unity with the suffering and struggling peoples of the world.

With the support and participation of the African community within the U.S. we will come together in Washington, D.C. and complete our own independent National Black Political Agenda for Self-determination.

The Black is Back Coalition is calling on the black community of the U.S. to come out in great numbers to contribute to the success of this historic endeavor!

Forward to Washington D.C. and the Black People’s Convention on November 5th and 6th!
