UHURU means: FREEDOM

Uhuru means freedom. The International People's Democratic Uhuru Movement (InPDUM) is a grassroots organization, led by the black working class community. It was founded in 1991 in Chicago by the African People's Socialist Party. In their platform they demand: community control of police in the African-American community and the immediate withdrawal of the terroristic police & military forces from the African community. They hold weekly meetings at the Richard Showers Center (4600 Blue Springs Road) on Sundays from 3 to 5 p.m. To learn more: inpdum.org or contact KOBINA31@yahoo.com. My message to the uhuru is that if they want more local membership and support research some local issues in the black community her in Huntsville. From KMT involvement with the grassroots we've heard some citizens talk about "fishy" deaths of young black males at the hands of HPD. RESEARCH and talk to people locally. Ask about a death on the railroad tracks! Some video footage of cops harassing people in the project areas exists. They say late at night police can be observed harassing anyone walking down the sidewalks. Residents are told to go back inside their apartments if they are just making sure that an African-American is not abused when over zealous officers approach. I appeal to the UHURU movement to get in the streets to stop foolish talk like using roadside bombs on these cops. I know the UHURU feel as I do that this is the wrong answer! Please get in there and calm the situation! ( as printed in the paperback newsletter on November 1, 2006 by Marcus J. Echols) Go to www.kemeteyec.com for more information.
