is that these two institutions screw us up enough on their own, so
both of them together is certain death.

Greetings Coalition Family!
Why Not Us?
The u.s. is a nation of immigrants, from the landing of the first dissidents, to the Afrikans and middle-easterners of today. Each group comes here with a plan, they know what city and neighborhood they will live in, and they know what schools or business they will become involved in and where it will be established. They share common history and tradition, they have the same or similar diet, their mode of dress is familiar and they speak the same language, but most importantly… they share the indigenous spirituality, and spirituality to a human being is one of the most important motivating and unifying forces.
Every immigrant, whether they wish to hold on or not, came here with these and other traditions from their homeland that makes them unique and keeps them ‘related’, and no matter how far the succeeding offspring may drift from the mores and customs of the ‘Old World’, they will always have a safe haven to retreat to should times get really tough.
In order to cure a disease, you must first understand how the virus infects and affects the body it attacks. In order to reverse the affects of colonialism on the psyche of kidnapped and enslaved Afrikans, you have to understand how this system of colonialism works. Most of us, in the early stages of our awakening learned that the first step to colonizing a people is to upset the spiritual harmony of the people. In Afrika, the Muslims did it, the Catholics did it, and now every denomination of the Christian religion is doing it.
Once in place, they target the children; they target the children so they can produce the types of subjects they can control. They bleach out the culture, self-esteem, national pride and nationhood and replace it with the mores and values of the new dominant culture. The children are taken away from the family and placed in institutions, where they are institutionalized into a type of hybrid being. They are forbidden to speak the native language, wear native clothing, observe the spirituality or practice the cultural things necessary to preserving a heritage. They are taught to fear and revere the colonialists, they desire to mate with them, they produce mixed children, and the more mixed the better.
The older people are also isolated; they are forced to live in misery below poverty level as an example of what not to aspire to. Their communities are oppressed and foreign vices are introduced, as a result, crime increases and is allowed to run rampant, Anyone not willing to assimilate gets relegated to this status, while certain limited opportunities are granted the institutional graduates. These communities are labeled ‘Ghetto’ ‘depressed areas’ ‘projects’ and these negative labels are accepted, and thus actualized and perpetuated by the inhabitants. You have now produced the perfect self-hating being that will do anything to be included in the dominant culture. You have created the house Negro.
Self-hate, the colonial hatred transferred from dominant culture to dependent culture keeps us from coming together, and keeps us seeking to fulfill the oppressor’s mission of destroying our own people. And when we seek to fall back on our commonalities, the only recourse we have is to revert to the culture and spirituality of an oppressor.
Our folk have long echoed, “Education is the solution”, and they are and always have been right. But the difference between education and institutionalization must be understood before we can truly free our minds. We must educate ourselves about the systems we seek to overturn. And no matter how you call it, what we seek will overturn the current systems. We must know where the poison came from, when it was applied, how it works before we can produce and administer an antidote. We must know who we were before we were poisoned. We must understand our role in the maintenance of the colonial system before we can plan a way to extricate our families and ourselves. We must understand that we may never again as a people share a common spirituality, and keep our dogma and religious arguments to ourselves while we work myopically for psychological and organizational unity. That is the only way we can ever hope to reach the level of power promised by each of our individual spiritualities. Copyright © 2009 G. R. Adams
“We are not immigrants; we did not seek entry into this country bringing the flavor and culture of our homeland with us to contribute to the ‘melting pot’. We are descendents of those kidnapped and forced to assimilate into this culture, and prohibited to retain any of our original traditions. So when you ask “Why don’t Blacks stick together like other immigrants?” The answer: is 400 years of slavery successfully eradicated the glue of commonality that all immigrants brought with them to this land.” …Madu

There are almost 150,000 Latinos in Philadelphia with almost 50% having children. This beautifully diverse population of Puerto Ricans, Mexicans, Dominicans and Latin Americans bring so much culture, ingenuity and grace to our city. Many are recent immigrants and like many of our forefathers, can be a little lost in this large cuidad. On the www.cap4kids.org/philadelphia website, under the Immigration/Refugee handout (http://cap4kids.org/philadelphia/parent-handouts/immigration-refugee-services/latino-resources/) you will find a subcategory of resources for Latino families (as well as a separate subcatogy for Asian families).

2013 Bill Gates Scholars Program Giving Away 1,000 Scholarships to
Minority Students
Nationwide (BlackNews.com) -- In recognition of Black History Month,
Nationwide Insurance is encouraging consumers to get on line to share, build and capture important family history in celebration of the rich heritage and legacy of the African American family. In addition, consumers can visit Pandora.com to build a personalized music library and support the
United Negro College Fund (UNCF).
Every year, the Gates Millennium Scholars (GMS) Program selects 1,000
talented minority students to receive a good-through-graduation scholarship to use at any college or university of their choice. The program provides scholars with personal and professional development through our leadership programs along with academic support throughout their college career.
Administered by the United Negro College Fund, the program was initially funded by a $1 billion grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Since 1999, it has funded the education of more than 16,000 students, awarding them more than $614 million dollars to pay for tuition, fees, books and housing.
The program aims to reduce financial barriers for African American,
American Indian/Alaska Native, Asian Pacific Islander American and Hispanic American students with high academic and leadership promise who have significant financial need; increase the representation of these target groups in the disciplines of computer science, education, engineering, library science, mathematics, public health and the sciences, where these groups are severely underrepresented; develop a diversified cadre of future leaders for America by facilitating successful completion of bachelor's, master's and doctoral degrees; and provide seamless support from undergraduate through doctoral programs, for students selected as Gates Millennium Scholars entering target disciplines
The deadline for submission is January 16, 2013.

Philadelphia Area Research Community Coalition
Stable, large organizations are thought to be most capable of sustaining community-based research coalitions. However, small grass roots organizations may offer unique opportunities to engage in CBPR.
Objectives
To describe the process and lessons learned establishing the Philadelphia Area Research Community Coalition (PARCC), a heterogeneous group of organizations including large and small grass roots community organizations.
Methods
Over two years, PARCC successfully established an academic community research partnership of 22 diverse organizations of variable size and with variable experience in health research. PARCC's success is based upon committed leadership of representatives of the community-based organizations, a preexisting relationship and trust among selected members from the community and academia, extensive time commitment of members to the coalition's work, and the rapid development of work group activities that gave all members a meaningful role in the coalition.
Results and Lessons Learned
Since its inception 2.5 years ago, PARCC members have established core work groups, a governance structure and operating principles. During the early stages, while the coalition is developing trust, structure, and governance procedures, and research priorities, it can actively participate in community based research as long as the trust building and capacity building is not ignored. Accomplishments include research training activities, community health education projects, and collaboration in research originating in the community and in academia.
Conclusions
Building a CBPR coalition from the ground up involving organizations of diverse size presents unique challenges that can be overcome with committed leadership and appropriate startup funding.
Learning Objectives:
• Describe the process
of starting, establishing and maintaining a coalition with grass
root organizations who are interested in participating in CBPR •
Identify the key challenges, successes and lessons learned of
developing a partnership in this manner • Discuss how the
coalition’s structure and governance evolved

On Saturday, January 19th, the Malcolm X
Commemoration Committee will host its 17th annual dinner tribute
to our political prisoners and their families!
This highly anticipated and moving event will take place at the
Martin Luther King Jr. Labor Center, 1199 Union Headquarters, 310
West 43rd Street, (near 8th Avenue), in Manhattan.
The event will be from 3-7pm with dinner served promptly at 4pm.
Donations for this now time-honored event are $40 in advance and
$45 at the door. Proceeds from this gathering go to the commissary
of the political prisoners who are represented at the dinner by
their families.
The theme for this year’s dinner is “Transforming
Solidarity: Working Together To End Political Imprisonment and
Mass Incarceration.”
“We chose this theme because it’s time to critically
look at what we’re doing and how we’re doing it,”
Dequi Kioni-Sadiki, co-chair of the Committee and co-chair of
WBAI’s ‘Where We Live.’
“At some point it becomes important to recognize that it is
not enough to say ‘I am doing something’; At some
point, we have to figure out just what must be done to get
results,” she finished emphatically.
Special guests presenters for this year are Johanna Fernandez,
producer of the critically acclaimed film ‘Justice On
Trial,’ about Mumia Abu-Jamal, Malik Rhasaan of Occupy The
‘Hood and people’s hip hop artist Jasiri X!
This year’s dinner comes on the heels of Mumia Abu-Jamal’s
death sentence being tossed and on the heels of political
prisoners like Jalil Muntaqim being denied parole again. Muntaqim
has been in prison since 1973.
The Malcolm X Commemoration Committee was launched in 1993 with
former political prisoner Herman Ferguson serving as chairman.
Ferguson, now 91, was also a founding member of the Organization
of AfroAmerican Unity with Malcolm X and was with him up until
that fateful day February 21, 1965, when Malcolm was tragically
assassinated.
In addition to combatting misinformation surrounding the legacy of
Malcolm X and multiplying the presence of the community for the
very moving annual pilgrimage to Malcolm’s gravesite on his
birthday, the Committee also initiated this dinner 17 years ago to
bring the community together to build greater support for Black
and New Afrikan political prisoners and to instill greater
appreciation for their humanity and for what their families have
to endure in the face of their wrongful incarceration.
The Malcolm X Commemoration Committee has always said that Black
and New Afrikan political prisoners, who were young men who were
directly inspired by Malcolm to join the Black Liberation
Movement, make up “the hidden legacy” of Malcolm X.
Many were viciously targeted by the government’s COINTELPRO
operations of the late 60s early 70s. Those operations
assassinated activists, framed activists, fostered violence
between activists and the police and even fostered violence
between activists themselves. To this date, there are dozens of
political prisoners and prisoners of war who are still in prison
from frameups dating back to the 60s in most cases!
For more reservations and more information, please
call 718-512-5008.

A HAND UP!
"None of us has gotten where we are solely by pulling ourselves up from our own bootstraps. We got here because somebody bent down and helped us." - Thurgood Marshall
America’s Original Savings Network
As amazing as it may sound many people do not realize how easy it is
to LEGALLY stop paying for their groceries! This is how the one hour
television show began for the company whose website is at:
A: All of our coupons are actual manufacturer coupons. Fewer and fewer retailers accept coupons that are printed from your computer because of a huge increase in counterfeit coupons. Actual manufacturer coupons which we issue are accepted everywhere that coupons are accepted.
Q: Can these coupons be doubled?
A: Yes. These are
manufacturer issued coupons and may be doubled in any store that
offers double coupons.
Q: What are the face values and the expiration dates
of these coupons?
A: Being manufacturer coupons, the
manufacturer determines the face values of the coupons. We
currently stock coupons ranging in value from 40 cents to 5.00
dollars. The coupon expiration dates are generally valid for 90
days.
Q: How can I use $1,000.00 worth of coupons in 90
days?
A: With our program, you get to choose the coupons you
want, when you want them. This way you never have to worry about
the coupons expiring.
Q: How do I choose the coupons I want?
A: Each
coupon book contains coupon request slips which you fill out and
send in. Those coupons are then mailed to you.
