::Break the Silence:
CONGO WEEK::
Film:
"Lumumba: La Mort du Prophete"
Thu. 23rd
7-9pm
Free
In solidarity with activists worldwide, Sankofa will be hosting a film screening of "Lumumba: La Mort Du Prophet" by Raol Peck. "Lumumba: la Mort du Prophete" offers a unique opportunity to
reconsider the life and legacy of one of the legendary figures of
modern African history. Like Malcolm X, Patrice Lumumba is remembered
less for his lasting achievements than as an enduring symbol of the
struggle for self-determination. This deeply personal reflection by
acclaimed filmmaker Raoul Peck on the events of Lumumba's brief twelve
month rise and fall is a moving memorial to a man described as a giant,
a prophet, a devil, "a mystic of freedom". 
**"Break the Silence Congo Week" is to raise awareness about
the devastating situation in the Congo and mobilize support on behalf
of the people of the Congo. It will take place from Sunday October 19th
to Saturday October 25th where
at least 100 countries and 1,000 university campuses will participate
in a week of activities in solidarity with the students of the Congo.**
