📢 2025 Conference Theme: What Black Power Is – Defining, Demonstrating, and Deploying Abibitumi in Action

Black Power is not an abstract concept—it is a realized force. This conference challenges presenters to define Black Power clearly, demonstrate its impact, and deploy strategies that make it actionable and lasting.

We seek presentations that focus on:

✅ Tangible Results – Showcase concrete achievements in the fight for Abibifahodie (Black Liberation).
✅ Actionable Strategies – Provide replicable models for Black institution-building, education, security, health, and land control.
✅ Practical Implementation – Demonstrate how Black Power functions in the real world through organizing, policy, and strategic movements.

Proposals should connect directly to real-world applications of Black Liberation—no empty rhetoric, no vague theory.
