2/23 All Diamonds are Blood Diamonds! national speaking tour in Boston
ALL DIAMONDS ARE BLOOD DIAMONDS! Africa's Resources in African Hands!
Saturday February 23rd, 3-5pm
@ First Church in Jamaica Plain
6 Eliot St, Jamaica Plain MA
Wheelchair Accessible
Free
This event is a call to action for white people to return diamonds and
other stolen resources back to African people as a form of reparations.
All Diamonds are Blood Diamonds is a national speaking tour by the Uhuru
Solidarity Movement, under the leadership of the African People’s
Socialist Party.
Long revered as rare, benign gems symbolizing the ideals of beauty and
everlasting love, diamonds are the desired gift for engagements,
anniversaries, graduations, or simply as an expression of love. Diamonds
are thought to be the makings of heirlooms, something to pass down from
generation to generation with ever appreciating value.
These myths about the diamond trade, however, couldn’t be further from
the truth. This is a look into the reality of diamonds and the real
price of this seemingly innocent stone for millions of African people
and others who live on the other end of the equation.
SPEAKERS
Keynote: Yejide Orunmila, President of the African National Women's
Organization of the African People's Socialist Party
Featured: Halley Murray, North Regional Coordinator of the Uhuru
Solidarity Movement; Chair of USM Boston
