A Virtual seminar on Scientific Socialism

With the coronavirus pandemic and all the discussion about how societies address and solve problems, since capitalism has clearly demonstrated its inability at addressing people's needs (it was never created to do that), more people than ever are talking about socialism, but clear analysis of Scientific Socialism and quality study around the concepts and places who have implemented socialist construction is  extremely rare.  The point of this seminar is to provide people with the ABCs of Scientific Socialism.  What it is.  What it looks like, and how we achieve it.  

All are welcome.  All you need is internet and the ZOOM platform (you can download it free on smartphones if you don't have it).  Login on a Sunday and lets build!

Are Black People Really Africans?

There is a lot of talk today about whether "Black" people in the Western Hemisphere are really descendants from Africa?  There is also an equal amount of discussion taking place about whether Africans born in Africa feel a connection to "Black" people in the West.  Also, what about Africa in all of this discussion?

This event explores the on the ground work taking place by those within the Pan-Africanist movement, a movement that believes all people of African descent are Africans and belong to the African nation.  The presentation will provide visual acknowledgement of work taking place to unite African people everywhere and why these anti-African arguments are getting all the platform they are receiving.
