Panels and Talks on Critical Issues
We think there should be panels and talks on current issues that can be discussed from a black radical point of view, especially from a revolutionary black nationalist point of view. But let all schools of thought contend. I come from a black nationalist point of view because we must look out for self first. The Latinos know this, thus the cry La Raza, La Raza, La Raza. Everybody knows self first except the so called Negro. He's for everybody else except himself, thus he ends up on the bottom of the multi-cultural ladder!-- Marvin X
Possible location: Black Repertory Group Theatre, Geoffrey's Inner Circle and the Joyce Gordon Gallery. Tentative sponsors: Oakland Post Newspaper Group, KPOO radio, KPFA radio, Comcast 78, Do for Self Books.
Tentative Date: September, 2013
Each author will be given time to read and promote their book, along with a table. Each author is expected to help promote this event to insure there are more people than authors in attendance.
