White college graduates have over seven times more wealth than Black college graduates. Making the American Dream an equitable reality demand for Blacks has been repeatedly denied. In order to close the Black – White (among other racial groups) racial wealth gap in the U.S. Blacks’ deferred wealth must be restored. Through reparations\, these racial disparities can be easily addressed and supported by a variety of wealth-building opportunities such as education\, basic guaranteed income initiatives\, housing\, and business ownership. \nThe Reparations Unity Tour is designed to unify those of us who are influencers in our communities on the essential elements in the Reparations Movement. We believe that to win reparations there must be unity on how to proceed when addressing these essential elements. Please join Us! We are determined to win! \n\n\n\n\nPlease visit ReparationsUnited.org for additional details.

It is a day\, a week\, and in some areas\, a month marked with celebrations\, guest speakers\, picnics and family gatherings. It is a time for reflection and rejoicing. It is a time for assessment\, self-improvement and for planning the future. Its growing popularity signifies a level of maturity and dignity in America long over due. In cities across the country\, people of all races\, nationalities and religions are joining hands to truthfully acknowledge a period in our history that shaped and continues to influence our society today. Sensitized to the conditions and experiences of others\, only then can we make significant and lasting improvements in our society. \nAbout Harriet Tubman \nBorn a slave around 1822—making this year the bicentennial of her birth—on the Eastern Shore of Maryland\, Araminta Ross\, later known as Harriet Tubman\, was an American abolitionist and political activist. She escaped and made some 13 missions to rescue roughly 70 enslaved people through the Underground Railroad\, a network of antislavery activists and safe houses. \nShe was also a naturalist\, known for using an owl call to guide her family and others in their escape from slavery. \nMuch of her early life was spent in nature\, in landscapes like ours in Piscataway Park: wetlands\, meadows\, and woodland areas. There she developed skills that helped in her quest for freedom. \nWorking in timber fields\, Tubman learned how to be comfortable in the woods\, how to read the landscape\, and became familiar with the sounds of nature. Those sounds became signals to those escaping and their allies on the Underground Railroad to know when it was or wasn’t safe to come out of hiding. Tubman used calls from the Barred Owl\, or “hoot-owl\,” because it would blend in with the sounds of the night and not raise suspicion.

Garvey was imprisoned and later deported\, and his surging movement in America was stalled as he never again returned to the states. The Garvey family maintains that the charges against the leader were trumped up in order to halt any momentum that Garvey gained in the fight for civil rights. \nCLICK BELOW TO WATCH TONIGHT AT 7:45PM \n \n  URL:https://www.worldbeatcenter.org/event/marcus-garvey-day-feat-michael-palmer-and-rob-symeonn/ LOCATION:WorldBeat Center\, 2100 Park Blvd\, San Diego\, 92101\, United States CATEGORIES:Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.worldbeatcenter.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/Garvey-Virtual-Landscape.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20230912T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20230912T210000 DTSTAMP:20240328T004838 CREATED:20230909T213139Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230909T215531Z UID:41016-1694509200-1694552400@www.worldbeatcenter.org SUMMARY:10th National Heirloom Exposition DESCRIPTION:The National Heirloom Exposition has been called “The World’s Fair of Pure Food\,” It is the nation’s premier event for celebrating the history\, preservation\, and cultivation of heirloom varieties free from genetic modification.  \nThe 10th anniversary of the National Heirloom Expo will be held 9 AM – 9 PM on September 12\, 13\, and 14\, 2023\, at the Ventura County Fairgrounds\, Ventura\, CA.  \nBegun in 2011\, the three-day event features an expo hall filled with beautiful displays of heirloom fruits and vegetables for exhibition and tasting\, including the iconic Tower of Squash\, which is always a centerpiece of the event!  \n\n Seed Swap All Three Days! Swapping seeds has never been so fun!
