Join us at Auditorium 1 of the CT Martin Recreation & Aquatic Center to commemorate African Liberation Day! We will have performances, speakers, and discussion that highlight African struggles on the continent, throughout the diaspora, and right here in Atlanta!

African Liberation Day (ALD) has its origins in the First Conference of Independent African States, convened by Dr. Kwame Nkrumah and held in Accra, Ghana, from April 15-22, 1958. Delegates to the conference declared April 15th “African Freedom Day.” It was a day that would mark each year of the onward movement of African liberation, and symbolize the determination of African people to free themselves from foreign domination and exploitation.

With the establishment of the Organization of African Unity in 1963, Africa Freedom Day became African Liberation Day. Now celebrated on May 25th, African leaders called for a day of mass demonstrations across Africa and the African Diaspora against colonialism and neocolonialism, European domination and white supremacy. Today, African Liberation Day is a day to reaffirm our commitment to Pan-African socialism and to the revolutionary struggles of African peoples around the world against capitalism, neo-colonialism, racism, and zionism.
