Uhuru. This is the official D.C. area study group for the Burning Spear Newspaper, the official news wing of the African People's Socialist Party. The Burning Spear Newspaper, known as the "Voice of the International African Revolution," is a print and online newspaper published by the African People’s Socialist Party and affiliated with the African Liberation Movement. The paper is the oldest Black Power newspaper in existence and has published without interruption since the 1960s. The paper was founded in 1967 by party Chairman and Uhuru Movement leader Omali Yeshitela.

The paper seeks to “bring voice to the most oppressed and exploited sectors of the African world,” as well as combat "White Power imperialism," "media propaganda", and the "monopoly on the distribution of ideas." Since its inception the paper has published work by influential Black Power icons including Assata Shakur and others.

Here we will discuss the political contents of the newspaper and its implications on the African revolution today.
