Abstract
At the moment, broad sectors of the population are organized around the goal of regaining the democratic freedoms lost after the 1964 military coup. The Black population cannot be absent, we need to be active agents in this process. The MNU joins forces with those who fight for free trade unionism, for freedoms of expression and organization, for general, inclusive, and unrestricted political amnesty and, for a freely elected Constituent Assembly. We are going to participate in the November 15 electoral process, supporting candidates who are aligned with the MNU’s program... The Brazilian population will reaffirm their disavowal of this anti-national and anti-popular regime...We are going to say no to censorship, because we know that its principal goal is to impede our awareness and the fight for better living conditions. We are going to say yes to democracy.
期刊介绍:
Founded in 1969 and hailed by The New York Times as "a journal in which the writings of many of today"s finest black thinkers may be viewed," THE BLACK SCHOLAR has firmly established itself as the leading journal of black cultural and political thought in the United States. In its pages African American studies intellectuals, community activists, and national and international political leaders come to grips with basic issues confronting black America and Africa.
