HARLEM MARCH: "U.S./BRITISH HANDS OFF ZIMBABWE!"
A group of activists held an emergency demonstration in Harlem on June 28 to demand no U.S. and British intervention in the internal affairs of Zimbabwe, located in the heart of southern Africa. The protest, seen by hundreds of Harlem residents, was organized by the December 12 Movement, a long-time Brooklyn-based organization.
The march began at the Adam Clayton Powell, Jr. State Office Building and ended up in front of the Mount Olive Baptist Church, where New York City Council member Charles Barron, Omawale Clay from the D12 Movement, and Monica Moorehead from the International Action Center spoke at an impromptu street meeting.
President George W. Bush and Prime Minister Tony Blair have joined forces to attempt to illegally oust the president of Zimbabwe, Robert Mugabe. Mugabe has been supporting a grassroots campaign to restore arable lands, stolen under colonialism, back to their rightful owners, the Zimbabwean workers and peasants.
