Thank You from APEDF President Ona Zené Yeshitela!

Uhuru everyone! Because of YOU on #GivingTuesday this past week, the Black Power Blueprint exceeded our goal to raise the funds needed to begin construction on the Community Basketball Court in North St. Louis!

Thank you for everything you did to make this happen! Thank you to all of our donors, our volunteers, supporters and everyone who made phone calls, put up posters, flyers, promoted the campaign on social media and contributed in so many other ways. Together we have officially raised over $140,000 for this dynamic program of African self-determination.

Like I said from the beginning, this is about rebuilding our community. All of you are a part of making this happen. This is another victory for the African community. Another victory in our movement for political and economic power in our own hands.

We did it. You did it. We are winning! Uhuru!

In its place we are considering building a retail space. These sites will continue our liberation of land for the economic future of the African working class!
