SUMMARY:Mama Charlotte featuring film screenings
DESCRIPTION:Mama Charlotte returns from Tanzania to WorldBeat Center to screen her documentaries “Mama C: Urban Warrior In the African Bush” and “American Exile” this Saturday\, September 13th. Come join us for this free event 7pm-9pm. \nMama C: Urban Warrior\nRaised in the violent segregation of 1960s Kansas\, former Black Panther and artist Mama C has lived in Africa for most of her life. Her story is a journey through African identity and gives us a powerful meditation on identity\, exile and art.\n\nAmerican Exile\nAmerican Exile chronicles some of the history of Pete O’Neal\, founder and Chairman of the Kansas City Chapter of the Black Panther Party. The documentary by two Berkeley University grads\, is narrated by the award winning actress Alfre Woodard and features never before seen footage of his life in exile and areas that previous documentaries have never touched upon. \n\n\n\n\nAbout Charlotte Hill O’Neal\nCharlotte Hill O’Neal is known by several names. Residents of the Arusha region of northern Tanzania\, where she has lived for decades\, call her Mama C. Others call her Mama Africa because of the scarification on her cheeks and the ring piercing her nose\, and because she encourages the local youth to be proud of their culture and heritage. \nHer Orisha spiritual name is Osotunde Fasuyi. She was initiated several years ago as a priestess in the Yoruba belief system\, which originated about 10 000 years ago in present-day Nigeria. Enslaved Africans brought it to the Americas and the Caribbean\, where it syncretized with other belief systems and is now practiced throughout these areas.  \n\nCharlotte is bedecked in jewelry and beads. Some items represent Orisha deities and others are traditional Maasai beadwork. \n\nShe is a former member of the Black Panther Party\, who fled the United States with her husband Pete O’Neal half a century ago.  \nCharlotte speaks Swahili with a Midwest drawl and her skin is decorated with tattoos: a black panther on her left shoulder and Sankofa\, a symbol the Akan people of Ghana use to represent the importance of gaining knowledge and wisdom from the past\, on her arm. African instruments\, including the stringed nyatiti traditionally played by the Luo of present-day Kenya\, replace the gun once strapped across her body.

SUMMARY:3rd Annual Juneteenth Harriet Tubman Bird Walk
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a powerful morning of remembrance\, nature\, and cultural history as WorldBeat Cultural Center hosts the 3rd Annual Harriet Tubman Freedom Birdwatch in honor of Juneteenth and the legacy of Black resistance and liberation. \nThis year’s experience will take place in and around WorldBeat Center’s gardens\, where participants will engage in guided birdwatching\, cultural storytelling\, and hands-on learning.  \nIn partnership with Celebrate Urban Birds and the Cornell Lab of Ornithology\, we’ll be using the Merlin Bird ID app to identify local birds by sight and sound. We’ll also reflect on the important role of birds in history—especially how Harriet Tubman used the call of the barred owl as a secret signal during Underground Railroad missions. \nNew this year is an Augmented Reality “freedom trail” in the garden. Visitors will follow interactive markers that highlight the lives and leadership of figures like Harriet Tubman and John Horse\, a Black Seminole and freedom fighter who led maroon communities across the South. \nParticipants will also learn about the quilts used as communication tools\, sewn with symbols that guided enslaved people on their journey to freedom—blending African textile traditions with resistance strategies. \nEvent Highlights: \n\nGarden-based birdwatching using the Merlin Bird ID app\nStories of how the barred owl and other birds were used as coded signals\nAugmented Reality “freedom trail” through the garden\nHistory of quilt codes on the Underground Railroad\nKumeyaay land acknowledgment and native tree planting\nBird-friendly seed giveaways\nCultural drumming\, community vendors\, and a Juneteenth Freedom Plate\n\nThis is more than a birdwatch—it’s a celebration of heritage\, resilience\, and the deep connection between nature and liberation. \nFree and open to the public.\nAll ages welcome. Let’s learn\, honor\, and walk in the path of freedom—together. \n

SUMMARY:44th Tribute to the Reggae Legends/ Bob Day - DAY 1
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the 44th Annual Tribute to the Reggae Legends in San Diego\, CA. The 2024 event will span two days. Friday will feature a sound system night where “Virgin Islands Meets Jamaica\,” and Saturday will be a full day celebrating Roots Reggae Legends.   \nTribute to the Reggae Legends\, also known as Bob Marley Day honors the rich legacy of reggae music. Founded by Prophet World Beat Productions in honor of Bob Marley’s legacy\, the event began as a small gathering and eventually grew to fill the San Diego Sports Arena\, thanks to a partnership with Moss Jacobs.   \nReggae has always held a special place at the WorldBeat Center. Its director\, Makeda Dread Cheatom\, hosted Reggae Makossa on 91X FM for 25 years alongside her partner DJ Damaja Le. Together\, they organized many club nights\, boat cruises\, and the annual Bob Marley Day festival in San Diego. As reggae legends began to pass on\, the event was renamed Tribute to the Reggae Legends.   \nAfter 25 years at the San Diego Sports Arena\, the festival moved to the Broadway Pier in downtown San Diego. Later\, it returned to its roots at the WorldBeat Cultural Center with the Exodus festival.   \nReggae music carries a powerful message of unity\, peace\, and awareness of social inequities. The WorldBeat Center remains dedicated to preserving the legacy and message of reggae legends like Bob Marley and Peter Tosh.   \n2025 LINEUP\n \nSATURDAY\, FEBRUARY 22ND\, “Roots Reggae” \nSISTER NANCY\nJOHNNY OSBOURNE\nWARRIOR KING\nETANA\nJUNIOR TOOTS – Tribute to Toots\nTRISTON PALMER\nLITTLE JOHN\nEMPRESS AKUA\nQUINTO SOL\nMARA SULU WITH REVIVAL\nGOOD OVER EVIL SOUNDSYSTEM*\n \nFRIDAY\, FEBRUARY 21ST\, “VIRGIN ISLANDS MEETS JAMAICA ON SOUNDSYSTEM” \nVirgin Islands\nDEZARIE \nNINJAH P \nJamaica\nMICHAEL PALMER\nRANKING JOE* \nJust added!\nFrom Belize\nRAS INDIO

SUMMARY:Mumia: Long Distance Revolutionary Film Screening
DESCRIPTION:Join WorldBeat Center on December 21st from 6-8:30pm for a night of political education on the lessons we can learn from the Black prison movement. We will screen Mumia: Long Distance Revolutionary and discuss and answer questions. \nAbout the film \nBefore he was convicted of murdering a policeman in 1981 and sentenced to die\, Mumia Abu-Jamal was a gifted journalist and brilliant writer. Now after more than 30 years in prison and despite attempts to silence him\, Mumia is not only still alive but continuing to report\, educate\, provoke and inspire. Stephen Vittoria’s new feature documentary is an inspiring portrait of a man whom many consider America’s most famous political prisoner – a man whose existence tests our beliefs about freedom of expression. Through prison interviews\, archival footage\, and dramatic readings\, and aided by a potent chorus of voices including Cornel West\, Alice Walker\, Dick Gregory\, Angela Davis\, Amy Goodman and others\, this riveting film explores Mumia’s life before\, during and after Death Row.

Having performed extensively throughout the Tri-State Area\, in the south\, and even the United Nations\, to opening for such bands as Steel Pulse and Inner Circle\, destiny would have it that Judah Tribe would open for the legendary Reggae group founded by the late Bob Marley\, Peter Tosh\, and Bunny Wailer\, The Wailers in 2012 at New Jersey Performing Arts Center. It was here that Josh crossed paths with distant relatives\, Aston “FamilyMan” Barrett and Aston Jr. leading to his joining forces with The Wailers as lead vocalist in 2015\, spreading JAH message of “One Love”. The Wailers released their debut album after 25 years\, “One World” with songs produced and written by Emilio Estefan\, Josh David\, Aston Barrett\, Jr\, Cedella and Skip Marley\, and Shaggy. The album was nominated for the 2021 Grammys “Reggae Album of The Year”. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBOB MARLEY: ONE LOVE celebrates the life and music of an icon who inspired generations through his message of love and unity.
