19th Annual Conference Letter
Greetings Reparations Activists and Supporters:
June 27-29, 2008 N’COBRA will host its 19th annual Reparations Conference in Miami , Florida . We are looking forward to a very engaging, and informative weekend, as the South Florida Chapter of N’COBRA has been actively involved in a number grass root actions that are important to our quest for Reparations including the plight of the homeless; rights of ex-felons; the Katrina Survivors' demand for justice; and the ongoing human rights struggles of Haitian immigrants. This will also be our first year to award scholarships to local area youth who attend the conference, thanks to the generosity and foresight of Lifetime Member Ajamu Sankofa who established the Sankofa National N’COBRA Conference Leadership Scholarship 2007. We must do all we can to ensure our youth play an active role in the Reparations Movement.
There will be in-depth discussions about the first Judiciary Committee hearing on The Legacy of the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade, which took place on December 18, 2007; other important work that continues to move us closer to our goal of achieving Reparations; and as always opportunities for you to be active participants in the Coalition's decision-making processes. It won't hurt being in the land of Palm Trees, and Sunny Weather; and having easy access to the Ocean.
We hope to see you there... And always we remind you that "The Power To Win Reparations Is In Our Hands!"
