About
Help me celebrate my 75th birthday by donating to the Black Power Blueprint projects in St. Louis.

I feel very grateful for living 75 years when so many people do not have the opportunity to live this long. That's why I want to celebrate my birthday by raising as much resources as I can for the completion of the outdoor venue space and One Africa One Nation Marketplace and Community Garden here in North St. Louis.
This transformation is critical to create economic and political power in the hands of the African working class community.
...
North St. Louis has been exploited by design and all the resources drained out for over 70 years and funneled into the development of the white communities below Delmar Blvd. This disparity is referred to as the Delmar Divide.

30% of the black community of North St. Louis lives on $5.00 a day and 77,000 people have no access to food.
The Black Power Blueprint, rooted in African self-determination and economic self reliance is the key.

Help me celebrate my birthday by contributing to make these projects a reality. Thank you and Uhuru!

APEDF just renovated an abandoned building for the Uhuru House African community center which has quickly become vital organizing center and venue for community events.
📷
APEDF demolished the condemned buildings next door to the Uhuru House and created an outdoor event space where the Halloween Haunted Night was held, a community garden is in progress and the One Africa! One Nation! Marketplace will begin in the spring to build community commerce and incubate black businesses.

The third phase of Black Power Blueprint projects is creation of the Uhuru Jiko Community Commercial Kitchen with Uhuru Bakery/Cafe and future home of the African Independence Workforce Program providing food business skills, work experience and housing for previously incarcerated black men and women.
