FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

NEW PANTHERS HOST BLACK UNITY RALLY FOR ASSATA

On Thursday, May 12th, the New Black Panther Party will host a Unity Press Conference in support of exiled former Black Panther Assata Shakur.
The press conference will take place at 12 noon at the Federal Building, Broad and Court Streets, Newark.
Shakur, the much maligned Joanne Chesimard, was recently made the target of a new $1 million dollar bounty on her head. With aid from the Justice Department, the bounty was renewed on May 2nd, at a ceremony renaming a bridge of after State Trooper Werner Foerster, who was killed in the May 2, 1973 Turnpike incident that ultimately landed her in prison.
Shakur and Sundiata Acoli were convicted by an all-white jury on in 1977. On November 2, 1979, Shakur escaped from prison in a dramatic daylight action. She later surfaced as an exile in Cuba where continues to live to this day. Acoli is currently serving a life sentence in Allenwood, Pennsylvania and has twice been denied parole.
Among the many parties expected to participate in this press conference are Lawrence Hamm of the People’s Organization of Progress, Frederica Bey of WISOMMM, Min. Lawrence Muhammad of the Nation Of Islam, Salaam Ismial of the United Youth Organization, Aminifu Williams of REFAL, Amiri and Aminah Baraka, TJ Whitaker of Uhuru, among others.
Minister Zayid Muhammad, a longtime supporter of Shakur, will represent the New Black Panther Party.
The participants are uniting in denouncing the bounty, in denouncing the disregard for Cuba’s national sovereignty and calling for a U.S. version of the Truth And Reconciliation Commission of the new South Africa, an approach rooted in restorative justice which seeks to reduce tension between conflicting parties by each openly revealing their actions towards the other.
