R.I.S.E PRESENTS...
A Tribute to Freedom Fighters
Friday, February 28, 2003 marks a first annual, much needed tradition to be celebrated in Canada. For the official finale to Black History Month, “A Tribute to Freedom Fighters” will be sure to revive a commemoration almost lost in this country.
Join R.I.S.E as we bring to you another dynamic production featuring drama, music and dance. This show guarantees you a full evening of enlightenment, highlighting Canadian, American and Caribbean heroes such as Marie-Joseph Angelique, John Simcoe, Malcolm X, Martin Luther King Jr., Nat Turner, Harriet Tubman, Nanny of the Maroons and so much more.
We must never forget who we are and those who helped bring us to freedom. R.I.S.E introduces a spectacular event sure to educate, entertain and unify a community crying out.
Children and youth of all races and cultures will especially benefit, as many liberators are not mentioned in our school history books. Come find out the real truth behind those who fought for emancipation and civil rights.
we event will be held at Yorkwoods Library Theatre, 1785 Finch Avenue West @ 7:30pm.
Admission: $15 in advance & $20 @ the door.

As said by Dr David Molapo of South Africa ex-Robben Islander "We are no longer prisoners of our past but we are pioneers of our future"
Though I can't be there I'm encouraging all the young people to go ahead and make it happen. Attend this function in your numbers, black & white.
As black Southern Africans to an extent our struggles were inspired by Africans in the diaspora - Viva Marcus Garvey! Viva Bob Marley!
There'ss a book "Negroes' contribution to western civilization" check it out, Blacks were legally not allowed inventing and therefore the Mr Smiths of the day got it all, patent & credit for no work no invention. Your teacher won't mention this book!
Viva X! Viva Che!
A LUTA CONTINUA
NOT YET UHURU! AMANDLA!
Dont let Martin Luther King, Samora Machel, Steve Biko and Patrice Lumumba die in vain!
