Chokwe Lumumba We Are The Sons and Daughters of Queen Mother Moore & Malcolm X, The Black Belt

Описание: Chokwe Lumumba (1947–2014)

Chokwe Lumumba was New Afrikan revolutionary nationalist, Pan-Afrikanist, and human rights attorney whose life’s work was dedicated to the liberation, self-determination, and political empowerment of New Afrikan people in the United States.

Born Edwin Taliaferro in Detroit, Michigan, Lumumba was profoundly influenced by the teachings of Malcolm X, Queen Mother Moore, and the global anti-colonial struggle. He became a leading member of the Republic of New Afrika (RNA), an independence movement that fought for self-determination, land, and sovereignty for New Afrikan people in the Black Belt South. Within the RNA, Lumumba served in leadership and helped articulate the movement’s political vision, including the demand for reparations and the right to form an independent Black nation.

As a human rights attorney, Chokwe Lumumba was nationally known for defending political prisoners, freedom fighters, and victims of state repression. He was part of the legal defense team for Assata Shakur, Mutulu Shakur the RNA-11, and numerous activists targeted by COINTELPRO-style repression. His legal work was not separate from his politics—it was a weapon in the struggle for liberation.

Later in life, Lumumba brought revolutionary principles into electoral politics, becoming Mayor of Jackson, Mississippi in 2013. His administration emphasized grassroots democracy, cooperative economics, and community control, laying the groundwork for what became known as the Jackson-Kush Plan.

Chokwe Lumumba is remembered as a bridge between revolutionary nationalism and mass-based political organizing—a freedom fighter who never abandoned the struggle for land, power, and self-determination.

“Free the Land” was not a slogan for Chokwe Lumumba—it was a lifelong commitment.
