WE ARE UHURU
We Are Uhuru (WAU) is a movement for Self-Determination of the Original Peoples of the Earth. We partner with & welcome those who support the total and final liberation of our People.
A Movement for Self-Determination
In a collective act of self-determination - to name ourselves, for ourselves - we will call ourselves by a noble name that has nothing to do with anything our colonizers have called us or the land they forced us to work. At the same time we will honor our heritage and ancestry as the Original Peoples. We have begun calling ourselves the Uhuru People.
We will no longer be Negroes, Blacks, or African American. We'll be Uhuru and we'll be recognized worldwide as the Uhuru People of the Uhuru Nation.
Uhuru is a name for us that our Afrikan kindred on the continent and across the diaspora can recognize as connecting us to them, and this also helps us to recognize ourselves at last.
We must reorient our consciousness in order to effectively deal with the oppression we have faced and continue to face. That first step in reorienting ourselves starts with the self-determination of naming ourselves.
And the best part:
Uhuru is Swahili for Freedom. We would literally be calling ourselves the freedom that we now claim as our birthright.
The surest way to have what you want is to be it.
Spread this movement far and wide to your friends and folks and get them involved. Let us unite and act with one purpose.
It's Nation time, Y'all. "They" don't think we can/will do it. Let them wait on that other thought that's comin'.
Freedom is not only our goal; it is who we are.

Join us in the Idea Lab, a multi-media discussion forum & think tank where we bring our best ideas together to build the foundation for the Uhuru Nation.
This is just the beginning.
The Uhuru People must be truly free,
and equal in power to other nations.
Freedom is not something that can be granted by another.
You must claim it for yourself, on your own terms.
