Black Power Convention Upcoming: State Of Emergency: Our Survival Is At Stake!

Date: Memorial Day Weekend, Friday, May 28th- Monday, May 31st, 2010

Why a Black Power Convention?

With growing national frustrations over Black unemployment, inner city violence, jails and prisons, poor health, poor education/schools, racism, police abuse and self-genocide, the time is right for a Black Power Convention. Africa and Black Peoples worldwide are threatened with extinction if the right decisions are not made by this generation of leadership. If we don’t organize and unite the forces of evil will prey upon us and eliminate us. Black organizations and leaders of every stripe and persuasion will be in attendance at this Convention to offer leadership, guidance and on-going solutions to our people whose very survival is at stake in this hour. What makes the Black Power Convention 2010 unique and attractive is the strength of the agenda and the diversity its participants and presenters.

“If we do not see the handwriting on the wall and organize like never before we will certainly be destroyed.” Dr. Malik Zulu Shabazz, Esq.- Convener

There will be no better place in 2010 than the Black Power Convention for learning, networking and organizing. If you are for acquiring knowledge and support for your issues and causes- this Convention is for you. New leadership that is not normally heard from will be present. Real solutions and paths to progress will emerge from this historic summit of united leadership. The 2009 Black Power Conference at Mike Roberts Crowne Plaza Marriott in Marietta , GA was a great success. The Black Power Convention at Historic Morris Brown College in Atlanta will take us to a new level in organized struggle, development and resistance.

What Makes The Black Power Convention Unique?

The National Black Power Convention is unique and forceful because it is organized from a different construct than most African American conferences or political conventions. The convention and its presenters will gather under the general liberation and philosophical approach given to us by Malcolm X, Marcus Garvey, Elijah Muhammad, Harriet Tubman, Fannie Lou Hamer, Kwame Ture (Stokley Carmichael) , Adam Clayton Powell, Kwame Nkrumah, Dr. Khallid Muhammad and other race first advocates. Convention presenters and participants will offer expert advice and chart a progressive, even revolutionary agenda to better the lives of our people. The workshops and forums, which are taught by leading experts in their field, are detailed, highly informative and well organized.
