Celebrate Black History Month - Free Screening of "Lumumba"

Liberation Film Series - Free Movie Screening
Lumumba (2000), Raoul Peck, dir.

Celebrate Black History month with a free screening of Raoul Peck's poignant film Lumumba (2000). The movie documents the life and death of the brilliant African politician Patrice Lumumba. Lumumba was the shining star of a generation of post-independence African left-wing leaders interested in charting a course away from Western dependency and imperialism. Peck's Lumumba is a tragic figure whose demise raises questions about the possibilities for the liberation of Africa in the 21st century.

Washington Transcripts (What is really being said in DC)

Of course I told lies to get us into Iraq. Any school child knows that. Don’t know why Scott McClellan didn’t. If we didn’t bend a lot of truth, we never would have done what we done over there. This whole McClellan double-cross signifys just why I’m backing John McCain so hard. He sat right here in the White House and told me there would be no investigating into how we thought up Iraq. There will be no need to look backwords with John. He will protect my Presidential legacy.

We don’t create homeless veterans; they do it to themselves. My Veterans Administration supports veterans who support themselves, not them that whine about what they been put through and not getting enough education benefits. Look at John McCain and myself, we are both Vietnam era and we didn’t need no education benefits. We both picked ourselves up by the boots. We are both shinning beacons of what these homeless vets can be, beacons standing on a high hill of compassionate conservatism.

NYC Thurs 3-27 Indigenous Music, Art, Film Benefit at IAC 55 West 17th Street 5th Floor (5C) between 5th & 6th Avenues (Manhattan/NYC) for Owe Aku

Owe Aku ( “bring back the way”) works to preserve and revitalize the Lakota (Sioux) way of life. Our ancient identity guides us in our work and contributes to the preservation of the Earth. We promote and protect our land, treaty and human rights. Recently, tragedy struck when the home and office of our leaders, Debra and Alex White Plume, burned to the ground in the middle of the South Dakota winter. The family and the organization moves forward and we are once again turning to our friends and allies for help.


Thursday's multimedia program will consist of: presentations on Owe Aku’s work with Hemp (clips from the film Standing Silent Nation), Owe Aku’s efforts to preserve sacred sites (clips from a film on Bear Butte), an update on Owe Aku’s historic anti-uranium mining case, the progress towards rebuilding, sale of beautiful photographs from Owe Aku’s homeland and daily life by Malcolm MacKinnon, and Music by Matou: Indigenous musicians performing original compositions celebrating indigenous cultural strength, perpetuation of tradition, and expression of a love for nature.
The music is an eclectic fusion of Native American and powerful traditional Maori chants

For examples of the photographs for the silent auction go to www. nativeamericanphotography. com.
