FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE!

NEW PANTHERS TO BLAZE WITH HIP HOP 4 HAITI UNITY KREW

On Saturday, January 30th, key voices of the New Black Panther Party will participate in the incredible united youth survival effort called ‘Hip Hop 4 Haiti.’

The idea for ‘Hip Hop 4 Haiti’ was conceived by Queen Yonasda, the granddaughter of Minister Louis Farrakhan and a powerful hip hop artist in her own right (http://www.queenyonasda.com) .

It will manifest itself boldly in performance in 32 U.S. cities and in Costa Rica, most on January 30th! It has already manifested itself with a powerful multimedia webpage, www.hiphop4haiti.ning.org.

See the promotional video

            The theme for this awesome  united effort is

‘Bridging the Families-Starting A Movement,’ to which the NewBlack Panther Party added ‘PanAfricanism or Perish!’

Haiti is considered the birthplace of the PanAfrican idea.

The New Black Panther Party will also play a significant role

in Houston’s, Hip Hop 4 Haiti.

Their performance will also take place on Saturday, January 30th, and will take place at the Black Cross Headquarters, 2417 Riverside from 2-7p.m.

The Black Cross is a community survival initiative of the New Black Panther Party,spearheaded by Sis. Crystal Muhammad, who was among several hundred Katrina survivors rescued by a crack New Black Panther Party rescue team headed by its leader attorney at war, Malik Zulu Shabazz.

In the tradition of the Black Cross Nurses in Marcus Garvey’s Universal Negro Improvement Association, Black Cross is a community survival project that will train grassroots community people in the greater Houston area in rescue relief and survival as well as be a rescue supply resource.

Key players in this effort which will include performances and a community survival presentation are

Haitian-American Ministries and the Black Cross.

All concerned persons are strongly encouraged to contribute to therelief effort of Yele Foundation at www.yele.org.

Incredibly,racists elements have tried to project the Yele Foundation and its founder Haitian son and hip hop star Wyclef Jean as a tax cheat in the media.

“There is a huge difference in making a mistake within one’s taxes and trying to defraud the government,” explained an angry Zayid Muhammad on behal fthe Party.

“TheNewBlack Panther Party needs no one to tell us who our friends are and who our enemies are, and we stand by our brother Wyclef Jean in his proven  efforts to help our people in need in his homeland with absolutely no apologies.”

            It will be co-hosted by two powerful young women playing pivotal roles inefforts to turn local hip hop “away from the culture of violence forcedonto us by oppression,” Beautiful SeeAsia of the Newark AntiViolenceCoalition and Jaydah Jacques, founder of Nine Strong Women and featuredin the critically acclaimed documentary Brick City.

            Among the performers will be Newark’s own DoIt All Dupree of  Lords of the Undergroundfame, producer and emcee R-kitech, the IYO poet allstars, the MaroonSociety, featuring party voices mc swagga and m’kassa and fresh off thepremiere of their last cd ‘Revolution 101,’ artists from KRS-1’s Templeof HipHop, Jael Divine, Sanajah Simms, poets Peter Rainmaker and LamarHill and much more.

            Donation suggested is $10. Those with the means to give more are strongly urgedto do so. Proceeds will go to local families impacted by earthquake.

            “When hip hop is not in the callous cold captivity of commercialism, it hasthe capacity to do enormous things,” explained Zayid Muhammad, spokenword pioneer and the party’s national minister of culture.

Muhammad will perform ‘Boukman’s Prayer,’ and the late Oscar Brown’s ‘Spirit of the Dead,’ dedicated to the ancestors of the Haitian Revolution.
