About the event
On November 9th, we will be hosting an emergency fundraiser and send forth to Ghana for Brother Dhoruba who is a former political prisoner, veteran of the Black Panther Party, and member of the New York 21, who remains active in the struggle for Black liberation. He is currently battling lung cancer and must travel for treatments between Ghana (where he resides) and the US (where he is receiving cancer treatments).
From 4:00 - 7:00pm, we invite you to hear Brother Dhoruba speak before he travels back to Ghana and enjoy music and performances. We ask that you come with a generous donation and message of support that will offset the costs of his cancer treatments and living expenses.
The time to support our Black freedom fighters is always now!
Dhoruba Bin-Wahad, 80 years old, was a leading member of the New York Black Panther Party (NYBPP). He was the NYBPP’s Field Secretary, responsible for organizing chapters throughout the East Coast. In April of 1969, he and (20) other members of the NYBPP were arrested on charges of conspiracy. This case, which became known as the “Panther 21” was part of the illegal FBI Counter Intelligence Program (COINTELPRO). Panther 21 acquittal, Dhoruba was, again, falsely arrested and spent 19 years in prison for a crime he did not commit.
Dhoruba was released from prison in 1990 & continues to write, work and fight for freedom for his Comrades and all political prisoners.
