“ History will one day have its say; it will not be the history taught in the United Nations, Washington, Paris, or Brussels, however, but the history taught in the countries that have rid themselves of colonialism and its puppets. Africa will write its own history and both north and south of the Sahara it will be a history full of glory and dignity.”
Why
named after African revolutionary fighter, Patrice Lumumba, this revolutionary press aims to dismantle White Supremacy. PLP directly ADDRESSES HOW White Supremacy maintains power through cultural hegemony. PLP recognizes how African peoples have been miseducated and derailed from fulfilling their purpose. PLP directly addresses this miseducation.
