This episode features interviews with African People's Socialist Party Department of Agitprop director and former St. Petersburg city council candidate Akile Anai (AKA Eritha Akile Cainion), APSP member Themba Tshibanda and Uhuru Solidarity Movement Chair and former St. Petersburg mayoral candidate Jesse Nevel who help shatter the lie that the city of St. Petersburg is offering economic development to the African community with any of its corporate schemes to redevelop the land at Tropicana Field which was built by destroying the Gas Plant district, the oldest black neighborhood in the city.

Learn about the vibrant history of this once thriving community and the mendacity of a city government and white ruling class that continues to profit from the forced removal of the African population.

This episode explains the goals of the "Reparations Now: Take Back the Dome," campaign led by the Uhuru  Movement which is calling for the return of the 86 acres of land under the Tropicana stadium to be returned to the black community as an act of reparations."

This African Internationalist analysis of the COP 26 2021 makes clear that colonialism caused the climate crisis and that there can be no end to environmental destruction as long as the system of parasitic capitalism still exploits and oppresses the peoples of the world and the earth itself.

On this episode of "White Lies Shattered," we continue our conversation with Elikya Ngoma, Haiti editor of the Burning Spear newspaper and member of the African People's Socialist Party, and Penny Hess, Chair of the African People's Solidarity Committee and author of Overturning the Culture of Violence. We discuss the heroic legacy of the world's first successful anti-colonial workers' revolution: the African Revolution of Haiti. 

How the Haitian Revolution Changed the World: Featuring a discussion with Elikya Ngoma, the Haiti Editor of The Burning Spear newspaper and African People's Socialist Party member, and Penny Hess, Chair of the African People's Solidarity's Committee, on how the Haitian Revolution changed the world when African people in Haiti fought and won the first successful workers' and anti-colonial revolution in the world in 1804.

Chairwoman Penny Hess delivered this speech on May 30th, 2021 at a webinar hosted by the All African People's Development and Empowerment Project titled, " Environmental Crisis: Colonial Capitalism vs. the Planet."

This presentation was recorded on June 12, 2021 at the first-ever conference of the Reparations Legacy Project, a campaign of the Uhuru Solidarity Movement working to win reparations from white individuals, corporations and businesses with access to wealth. 

Penny Hess is the Chair of the African People's Solidarity Committee, the organization of white people working under the leadership of the African People's Socialist Party to build the movement for white reparations to African people. Penny Hess joined the African People’s Solidarity Committee at its founding conference in 1976 and has for the past forty five years worked under the leadership of the African People’s Socialist Party and Chairman Omali yeshitela to build white solidarity with black power. Chairwoman Penny is also the author of Overturning the Culture of Violence.

This episode of "White Lies Shattered" features Chairwoman of the African People's Solidarity Committee, Penny Hess and Visiting Assistant Professor of Ehtnic Studies at the University of San Diego, Dr. Matsemela Odom vanquishing the lie that the academic ivory tower is a bastion of truth and justice. Hess and Odom use the historical record to make it abundantly clear that universities and colleges owe reparations to African people.

In Episode 10 of "White Lies Shattered," Chairwoman Penny and USM Chair Jesse Nevel take a close look at the genocidal horrors settler colonialism has inflicted on the first nations of Canada at colonial death camps known as residential schools where untold thousands of indigenous children were tortured, raped and murdered by priests, nuns government agents and regular white citizens.

Kamloops is just one of these concentration camps which has been in the headlines recently since the discovery of over 215 bodies of native children in a mass grave. We will expose the vile nature of this bloody legacy, the complicity of the white church, state and populace and hear chilling testimony from indigenous survivors of the Canadian holocaust. The only way to rectify this nightmare is through reparation, the return of all Indigenous lands to Indigenous people.

Reparations in Action: White Lies Shattered Series Podcast and FM radio show continues Friday, March 19th at 3pm EST with Episode 4 in which Penny Hess, Chairwoman of the African People's Solidarity Committee, destroys the lie that capitalism was born as a benign and progressive system in Europe and only later became the oppressive, world wide system of imperialism we know today. 

This episode of the White Lies Shattered series uses African Internationalism to show that capitalism was born through brutal imperial plunder as a violent and parasitic entity that cannot be saved or reformed. As Chairman Omali Yeshitela has said, "There is no such thing as a kinder, gentler colonialism." Reparations in Action airs weekly on Black Power 96.3 FM in St. Petersburg, FL from 3-4pm EST and can be heard on BlackPower96.org, or wherever you listen to podcasts. Email hosts Jamie Simpson and Jesse Nevel with your questions and comments at RIA@BlackPower96.org

If you want to know who benefited from slavery, all you have to do is "Follow the money." Listen to episode 3 to go deeper.

Reparations in Action Host Jamie Simpson welcomes African People’s Solidarity Committee (APSC) Chairwoman Penny Hess, author of the book Overturning the Culture of Violence and Uhuru Solidarity Movement Chair Jesse Nevel to explore the genocidal history of colonial capitalism.

On Friday, February 26th we will take aim at the lie that Europeans or white people discovered a “ New World” during an age of “Exploration”.

The ‘White Lies Shattered’ series will use the historical record and African Internationalism, the political theory developed by Uhuru Movement leader Chairman Omali Yeshitela, to destroy the insidious lies white people tell ourselves about the nature of capitalism and the violent process that brought it into being. Each episode will focus on a specific lie this system uses to defend itself from criticism and from the just demand for reparations.

On the premiere episode of "White Lies Shattered," a special series hosted by Reparations in Action, Penny Hess, Chairwoman of the African People's Solidarity Committee explores the genocidal origins of capitalism and uproot the lies white people tell ourselves about slavery, colonialism and how Europe and the white world came into existence.

In the first episode of White Lies Shattered, Penny Hess and co-hosts Jamie Simpson and Jesse Nevel will use the historical record and the theory of African Internationalism developed by Chairman Omali Yeshitela to obliterate the myth that Europe brought civilization to the world. Join this whirlwind tour of history through the eyes of the African working class.

Also joining us is Penny Hess, the Chairwoman of the African People’s Solidarity Committee, the white organizaation formed by the African People’s Socialist Party to build solidarity with the African revolution and organize white people for reparations. Penny Hess is the author of Overturning the Culture of Violence and has been working under the leadership of the APSP and Chairman Omali Yeshitela since 1976.

Joining us to sum up the life and death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg is Amanda Carlozzi, a member of the African People’s Solidarity Committee and the Vice-Chair of the Uhuru Solidarity Movement. 

Also joining us is Jesse Nevel, our engineer and co-host, Chair of Uhuru Solidarity. 

Chairman Omali Yeshitela traveled to Ferguson to build the movement there and later Deputy Chair Ona Zene Yeshitela spent over a year in Ferguson leading up the visionary Black Power Blueprint project which has created an Uhuru House community center, outdoor venue space and marketplace, community garden, housing, and so much more, in the context of a struggle to advance the political and economic power in the hands of the African working class. 

Ticharwa Masimba plays a key role in that work.
