BUILD SURVIVAL PROGRAMS The people come first. You are your Brother/Sisters keeper. Capitalism teac hes individualism, which is anti-African. We have to create programs that are for the best interest of the people (especially Food, Clothing and Shelter). P.E. (POLITICAL EDUCATION) EACH 1 TEACH 1! It is important for African people to have knowledge of self. We have to be able to articulate why we are in the conditions we are in, who put us in these conditions and how can we get out of these conditions.
