Greetings Coalition Family!
From our friends at The Connector: Dorothy Dandridge (Pioneer of positive film roles for black women) The legacy of Dorothy Dandridge is so important because it was the legacy of Black actors and actresses during that time. The color line in Hollywood presented an extreme obstacle to excelling in the film industry. Today, Black actors and actresses still struggle to find meaningful roles without having to portray drug addicts and drug dealers, effeminate men or ghetto type females, In her time, Dorothy Dandridge managed to cross the line and established a legacy that will live on.
An actress can only play a woman. I'm an actor, I can play anything. – Whoopi Goldberg
We each hold a piece to the puzzle.” – Dr. John Elliott Churchville “Communicate… Cooperate… Collaborate”
FOR OUR CHILDREN“It is easier to build children than it is to repair men.”…Frederick Douglass

SpotLight On Our Efforts
Education Campaign
The All- African People’s Revolutionary Unification Party is organizing an education campaign around the topic of, “The Development of Humanity; with an emphasis on Women, especially African Women.”
This will include understanding the “modes of production.” In the history of humanity there has been five major types of production relationships known to humanity: communalism, feudalism, capitalism, and socialism leading to communism. There is a severe lack of understanding about the modes of production because it is not taught in educational institutions. The reason it is so important to learn about the modes of production is:
1. It deals with who is in power in society and therefore gives you the reasons why certain things are a certain way. It shows the necessity of struggling for power.
2. It shows the most important changes in human development and gives people a weapon to affect change in the people’s interest.
3. It shows that women were in the leadership of society for over 90% of humanities history.
4. It shows that for over 90% of the history of humanity, human beings did not exploit and oppress each other and it refutes the idea was at war from the beginning.
5. It shows when exploitation and oppression started and what it takes to get rid of exploitation and oppression.
6. It shows the importance of human labor. It confirms that the people are the makers of history and not individuals and there is honor in being a common person.
7. It gives an organized way of understanding history and is a liberating force for the people who learn it.
These are a few reasons to learn about the modes of production. The people who learn have a big responsibility to share and teach the information with as many other people as possible. We do not own the media or the educational institutions in the society so it is on us the powerless masses to get this information to the people. As a start we suggest reading the book, Class Struggle in Africa by Kwame Nkumah. The way to have the biggest impact is to read and discuss the book collectively.
History is a weapon. It can be used to inspire or demobilize the people. History in the hands of the masses of the people will be guided by the love of justice and truth. The masses of the people have never been the oppressors; they have been the oppressed. The masses have no reason to hide the truth, but someone who has oppressed the people does have a reason to hide the truth.
We call on all oppressed people to organize because organization is a potent weapon of the oppressed. Our goal is to become so organized that we can do in one day what previously took us 20 years. In order to do this everyone must join an organization that is working for the people.

Family Survival Inc. is a 501(c)3 organization provides cultural, educational, spiritual and economic tools needed to create a positive and lasting legacy within the African American community.
Family Survival Inc., a 501(c)3 organization, was founded by Brothers Rashie Abdul Samad and Rashie Abdur Rahim after realizing that the key to reclaiming the African American community lies in re-establishing connection with Africa, it's art, history, culture, economy and people. The program started with exposing young people to the culture of African music and art, as well as learning the basics of business. While the founding principles remain intact, the program has expanded by partnering with other community organizations and businesses in the spirit of umoja (unity) to ensure our collective Family Survival. Together, these organizations will make an even greater impact on the youth and elders in the community for the benefit of whole.

ARTS FOR AWARENESS
I see little of more importance to the future of our country and of civilization than full recognition of the place of the artist. If art is to nourish the roots of our culture, society must set the artist free to follow his vision wherever it takes him. Pauline Kael

America and the World Will Celebrate
Take A Young Black Man
To Worship Day!
With 75% of young Black males 16 to 24 years old in New York City not working, with the leading cause of death for young Black men in American being homicide and with nearly 50% of the 2.3 million prisoners in prisons in America being mostly young Black men, the questions arises, "What would Jesus have done in these times?" And the answer is, He would have taken a young Black man to worship! Easter Sunday is a great time for you and your church to make a commitment to help and support young Black men. Call Nathan at 773.285.9600 receive an organizing guide and to join the list of faith organizations across America that have participated in this program.

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.
