Music, Art and Poetry in the Fight for Justice and Reparations to the Black Community!

On Friday, December 11, 2026, the Uhuru Solidarity Movement will sponsor Artists Against Lynching, a benefit concert at The Mad Monk in St. Petersburg, Florida, bringing together musicians, poets, artists, and community members in a powerful expression of solidarity with the Black Community.

The concert will raise support for justice for Syriah Henderson, a young Black woman found hanging from a tree in St. Petersburg in July 2026, as well as for the 22 Africans who have died under suspicious circumstances since March 2025. The days of lynching may be back!

This is a call to white people to take a stand against lynching, police murder, gentrification, and all forms of colonial violence. It is a call to overturn our legacy of white terror and demand justice and reparations to African people!

Featured Artists and Poets:
