Building a Liberation School (w/ Neighbor Program & Agape Mvmt)

What up everybody! We're back and trying to get on schedule for some weekly content for our listeners. On this episode of the Comrades Classroom Podcast, we sit down with members of Neighbor Program and Agape movement to discuss their development of a community center called the Shakur Center for Health and Wellness. If you haven't yet, go back and listen to our previous episodes with each of these organizations. The Shakur Center will be located in Oak Park, Sacramento and it will house various decolonizations including but not limited to a Daily Grocery Program, a Community School, a Legal Clinic, a Medical Clinic, an Arts and Cultural Center, a Farming Program, and more.

 

In this conversation, we sit down to talk about the development of the center, its purpose, and the many ways it was influenced by the Oakland Community School developed by the Black Panther Party. We focus most of our attention on the Malcolm X Academy and the development of a community school which has received a gracious blessing of approval from former Black Panther Party Member Ericka Huggins.

 

We are so excited to host this incredible conversation and we hope our listeners will help us to spread the word about the Malcolm X Academy so we can raise funds and open its doors in the Fall of 2022.
