A SOULJAH’S STORY

Rest Afrikan prophet, rest. Tupac Shakur, a self proclaimed warrior, an artist, a poet an actor and a rapper. All Afrikan men in Amerikkka must learn a lesson of survival. We have been told of Darwin’s’ theory of the “survival of the fittest,” and we have said on the street “only the strong survive;” so how can we relate this to our experience and existence. Afrikan men are trapped in a racist, oppressive capitalist system, which feeds on our destruction; we are living in Babylon itself. So in this race for survival we must chose our methods, and our weapons of defense. The path we take in our lives is our choice.... or is it?

On April 14th 1995, at San Jose State University; the newly appointed University President Robert Caret attempted to conduct a town hall meeting with the student body.  The African students on the campus with the other students of color began a series of protests in response to several intolerable conditions that were racially charged. This program sparks the turning point of a number of protests and meetings that lead to the successful implementation of "Da Undaground" and "Radio Atzlan" achieving 40 hours of ethnic programming on KSJS radio.

With over 40years of service to the Afrikan community, Omali Yeshitela has been a freedom fighter.
