WE SAY WE WILL NOT BE COMPLICIT IN GENOCIDE AGAINST THE AFRICAN COMMUNITY!
More than 4,000 Africans have been lynched in the United States since white people kidnapped Africans and brought them here as colonial slaves. We believe the hanging death of Syriah Henderson on July 1, 2026, could be another such lynching. Now, we must take responsibility for our legacy of colonial terror and defend the African community against white nationalist violence and from the violence of the oppressive U.S. and local governments.
