The National Black Power Convention has announced plans for an “armed demonstration” on May 29 in Tulsa’s Greenwood District in remembrance of the 2021 Race Riot/Massacre.

According to a press release, “National Black leaders and organizations from all over America will be speaking and attending over the three days  May 28-30). A highlight of the convention will be a huge Second Amendment, armed demonstration to take place on May 29 in the Greenwood District of Tulsa, OK; the site of the ‘Black Wall Street Massacre.’ 

“Black self-defense groups, and African-American gun clubs from all over America will be gathering by the hundreds (maybe thousands) to demonstrate to the nation the important message of; ‘Never again will we allow a Black Holocaust to take place!’

“A national defense program for Blacks is coming into existence. The National Black Power Convention is being co-sponsored by the Elmer Geronimo Pratt Gun Club (egpgunclubcentraltexas.com); the Huey P. Newton Gun Club (Huey P Newton Gun Club); and  the New Black Panther Party (Black Panther Movement). The convention is supported by 60 Black organizations throughout the country.”

The Convention’s keynote speaker is Attorney Malik Z. Shabazz, national president of Black Lawyers for Justice (blackrightsmatter.org) and NBPP Chairman Emeritus. 

“The 100-year anniversary of the Black Wall Street Holocaust is a rallying cry to all Blacks that we must fight on every front to protect the legal and human rights of our people and we must unite and organize with a zealous fierceness never witnessed before,”  Shabazz said in a release.

Organizers are upset about “police brutality” against blacks following the conviction of police officer Derek Chauvin in the murder of George Floyd.

“Blacks in America are still trying to gain reparations for a litany of such atrocities and they are still wrestling with the question of how to stop the bloody brutality that our people are still receiving at the hands of the police departments of America,” according to the press release from the National Black Power Convention.
