Socialist Action member Kwame M.A. Somburu, a long-time activist and participant in the Black liberation struggle, has been invited to address the 44th General Assembly of the United Nations in mid-October.
Somburu, a founding member of Malcom X's Organization of Afro-American Unity and the 1968 vice presidential candidate of the Socialist Workers Party, was invited to address the United Nations by its Committee on Decolonization. The focus of his remarks will be the status of Namibia and the French colony of New Caledonia. His 20-minute talk, which will be reprinted in a future issue of Socialist Action, will also deal with the capitalist origins of colonialism and the worldwide struggle against it.
Somburu is co-author of the Socialist Action pamphlets "Malcolm X: Fighter for Black Liberation" and "Is the 'Rainbow' a Real Alternative?"
Somburu's United Nations appearance will be followed by a Socialist Action national speaking tour. Socialist Action readers are asked to contribute to this effort. Please make checks payable to: Socialist Action/Somburu Fund, 3435 Army Street, Suite 308, San Francisco, CA 94110.
