Black is Back Conference: Obama, the election and the struggle for justice, peace, a better life and black power

The Black is Back Coalition for Social Justice, Peace and Reparations is holding our annual conference in Newark, New Jersey under the theme: "Obama, the election and the struggle for justice, peace a better life and black power."
