I was there yesterday and I thought it was significant stepforward. Look the reality is was it is... regional antiwar marches get 1000 people and the Black is Back march and rally had between 200 and 300 people. For the first time I was able to really meet, build and politik with a significant number of black radicals and socialists that I have never met. There were also young students who for them this was a new experiance and were able to step off the sidelines of history and start making it.
I also thought the speakers were fantastic from Nellie Bailey and Larry Hamm to Pam Africa all made great points that highlighted the need for a continued resistance to the Obama administration. I think there was a serious effort to organize this march and I would like to say that the African Peoples Socialist Party comrades did an excellent job organizing for this event. I will definitely look forward to working with all the serious brothers and sisters who made this rally and march possible. Uhuru!
