With over 40years of service to the Afrikan community, Omali Yeshitela has been a freedom fighter.  Popularized by the hip hop group Dead Prez, on the album "Let's Get Free," an excerpt from an Omali's speech was used in the track Wolves. In the U.S., Chairman Omali Yeshitela has built the African People's Socialist Party (APSP), founded in 1972 to "Complete the Black Revolution". Since that time the APSP has established Uhuru House black community organizing centers around the country; founded the National People's Democratic Uhuru Movement (InPDUM) to defend the democratic rights of the African community; and built economic institutions controlled by and benefiting the African working class, such as Uhuru's Black Gym of Our Own in St. Petersburg, Florida, the APSP's national headquarters. Race for the Times speaks with this dynamic freedom fighter.
