manifestations of black left activism today and how can they be unified ?

participation
• What lessons we can learn from the history of our Freedom Struggles,
e.g., resistance to slavery, the Haitian Revolution, Reconstruction,
Garveyism, Pan African anti-colonialism, the civil rights, black liberation and
empowerment movements of
of the 60s and the 70s, and the anti-apartheid movement, African
liberation support activism, anti-police brutality activism, and Reparations
activism of the 1980s and 90s.
