Black History forum in New York City
Published Mar 6, 2008 9:50 PM
A standing room only crowd attended a Black History Forum hosted by the
New York branch of Workers World Party on Feb. 29 at the Solidarity Center. The
two main speakers were Abayomi Azikiwe, editor of the Detroit-based Pan African
News Wire, and Larry Holmes, WWP secretariat member and a national organizer of
the Troops Out Now Coalition. The forum was chaired by Tyneisha Bowens, a
leader of the Fight Imperialism, Stand Together (FIST) youth group, who also
spoke on the significance of Black history. The forum took up the important
topics of the meaning of the Obama campaign and the impact of the economic
crisis on the Black community. Podcasts of the three talks can be heard at
www.workers.org. Workers World will carry excerpts of the three talks in
upcoming printed editions as well as online.
