African Liberation Day 2012
Saturday, May 26th 7pm
EastSide Cultural Center
2277 International Blvd, Oakland
The All African People's Revolutionary Party (A-APRP) is organizing the 54th commemoration of African Liberation Day (ALD) on May, 26th 2012 on three continents and in the Caribbean. Since 1963, on the 25th of May every year, African people around the world have observed ALD. It is a day when Africans and friends of Africa come together to affirm our solidarity, to measure our progress, assess our victories and our defeats, and to strengthen and prepare ourselves for the ongoing work of liberating, uniting and developing Africa. Originally, commemorated in Ghana in 1958 when Dr. Kwame Nkrumah institutionalized African Freedom Day. In 2003, it was made a national holiday throughout Africa with the founding of the African Union.

Rice & Beans Has Openings for Children Ages 2.5 and Up!
Rice & Beans, an early childhood educational co-op for families of color, is located right next to the EastSide Cultural Center, and is a new project of EastSide Arts Alliance!
Rice & Beans Cooperative was founded by parents of color, for parents of color who worked to advance social, economic, and environmental justice in our community and beyond, and the principles of the cooperative's program and curriculum are driven by the parents' shared vision of a society for their children that is built on justice, peace, and equity.
Under the leadership of their fabulous teacher, Dina Suarez, and in partnership with eastside Arts Alliance, Rice & Beans opened its door in September 2010.
