Freedom Dance Party 30th Anniversary of Assata's Liberation

This celebration is an opportunity for us as a community to acknowledge our
victories and renew our efforts to continue this essential work. We celebrate the
liberation and freedom of our sister Assata Shakur, who along with many other
Political Prisoners (who still remain behind the walls) set the example of unselfish
sacrifice for our beloved people. We also celebrate the sacrifice of those freedom
fighters whose spirits were released due to their physical demise. This is a
celebration for them all. We will especially honor Sundiata Acoli. Through music and
the warm meaningful collective interaction of dance and laughter, we will reaffirm
our commitment to their freedom.
