By Dr. Conrad W. Worrill, PhD Columnist

“Jitu was/is a central figure in the design, expansion and governance of The East organization, in both concrete and ideational terms. Conceptually, The East was a counter hegemonic act toward European cultural and political imperialism through its embodiment of African cultural resistance and reconstruction in the American context.”

By Dr. Conrad W. Worrill, PhD Columnist

in 1972 in Gary, Indiana 10,000 Black people participated in the National Black Political Convention in which the call for the development of a Black Independent Political Party was a prominent discussion at this meeting. However, the allegiance of Black elected officials to the Democratic Party prevented any real movement toward the development of a Black Political Party or independent Black Political Organization. Instead, a strategy of the third force inside the Democratic Party was developed.

Since the end of the Civil War in 1865, when African Americans were granted the right to vote, through the 15th Amendment in 1868, electoral politics…
