With an economic divide that is obvious in the United States and around the world between black and white communities through colonialism, Uhuru Planet enthusiastically endorses the mission of the Reparations Legacy Project. This is an organization under the leadership of the African People’s Socialist Party which calls on wealthy white people to take part in repairing the damage of slavery and colonialism through funding black liberation.
On Saturday June 12, 2021, from 1-6:30pm EST there will be a Reparations Legacy Project virtual conference to extend an invitation to the wealthy white community to be part of the worldwide African liberation movement by paying reparations, to repair centuries of exploitation of the African community that historically white people have always benefited from. The Reparations Legacy Project allows white/European people to take a stand in repairing the economic and social damage of enslavement of African people through the redistribution of resources toward the Black self-determination programs of the Uhuru Movement, such as the Black Power Blueprint project in St. Louis, MO.
We Are a Reparations Clothing Brand
Uhuru Planet has always stood firm to our commitment that a reparations clothing brand is an ethical clothing brand. It’s a necessary position to take considering the material conditions of the African community in the United States and around the world is one created under colonialism. If we are to address these issues, we have to understand that the material wealth gained by white communities exists because it was built on the backs of the colonized. For this understanding of colonialism we must credit and salute Chairman Omali Yeshitela of the African People’s Socialist Party, who has provided so much leadership to both Uhuru Planet and the international struggle for reparations to African people. By showing solidarity through reparations, we can begin the process of repairing past damage. This is why Uhuru Planet’s online shop was created, in order to push a culture demanding reparations. Under the leadership of the African People’s Solidarity Committee, our mission statement is “to forward the culture of white reparations to African people.”
Buy Black Power Through Black Star Industries
Along with the call for reparations to the Black Power Blueprint, the Reparations Legacy Project also supports the black self-determination institutions that are under Black Star Industries, such as Uhuru Planet. We encourage anyone interested in supporting an independent, anti-colonial African economy to shop and donate to The Burning Spear Newspaper, Decolonaise, Uzi Custom Clothing, Zenzele Consignment, Uhuru Foods & Pies Oakland and St. Petersburg, and Uhuru Furniture Oakland and Philly. All of these incredible institutions, including Uhuru Planet, are black owned businesses and have been built from the ground up by the African People’s Socialist Party. All of these businesses are part of the Buy Black Power Campaign, another dynamic wing of the APSP to bring together black owned business owners to achieve power, socialism and economic independence for the African community world-wide.
