Tonight we are talking with Agyei Tyehimba and Munyiga Nosakhere, two brothers On A Move.

Comarade Agyei has a petition on Change.org petitioning President Obama to do four things. They are as follows,

1. Launch a federal and state investigation to determine the validity of Ms. Shakur's initial conviction and prison sentence
2. Rescind Ms. Shakur's status as a "terrorist."
3. Terminate any bounty or "reward" for assisting in her capture.
4. Exonerate Ms. Shakur of ALL criminal charges and the need to serve the remainder of her (unjust) prison sentence.

Comrade Muniga is a member and organizer within the Black Autonomy Federation and has a long resume. He has been active in a number of Black Autonomy campaigns against police terror, racism/white supremacy, African empowerment, and numerous other issues. First influenced at 10yrs old by the LA Branch of the Black Panther Party; Munyiga was active in several Black Revolutionary Nationalist groups in the early 70's. (After the LA /BPP chapters demise).

He will be informing us on the upcoming 2nd Annual Black Power Conference set for June 8 in Memphis, TN. The conference will take place from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. in the Little Theater of the Alma C. Hanson Student Center at LeMoyne-Owen College, 807 Walker Ave. in Memphis. A $5 donation is requested. No one will be turned away for lack of funds.

We received a message of solidarity from Cuba that we want to share with our listeners as it is a message for all of us.
