HOUSTON-The National Black United Front-Houston Chapter (NBUF) recently celebrated the 4th annual Malcolm X Birthday/Self-determination Weekend. The weekend is utilized to celebrate the birthday of Malcolm X, which is actually May 19, who approached direct action in many ways over the course of his short life, coming to a vision of nonviolence and multi-ethnic struggle shortly before his assasination. Malcolm taught us that ‘By Any Means Necessary’ included deep personal transformation and standing up fearless against all odds for a vision of self-determination..
NBUF Houston is very proud to be a part of a process of Operational Unity which a number of African American organizations including Nation of Islam Muhammad’s Mosque Number 45, led by Southwest Regional Minister Robert Muhammad, S.H.A.P.E. Community Center, Director Deloyd Parker, and Shrine of the Black Madonna of the Pan African Orthodox Christian Church participate.. These organizations along with others are redefining how people of African descent from various backgrounds and with different ideologies can work together.
