Description

We have Part 3 of the history of the All African Women Revolutionary Union (AAWRU), a women’s wing of the AAPRP. Sister Moya Mzuri, covers another 10+ years of the history from the 10th Anniversary of the AAWRU in 1990 and beyond the year 2000. 

Post 1990 the AAWRU created a section on women in cadre political book lists and Integrating readings on women in all sections. Some sisters relocated to the Caribbean to build chapters and organize in the Virgin Islands by 1986-87. Others made the revolutionary leap to live and organize in Azania South Africa to assist in the establishment of an AAPRP chapter.

The AAWRU 20th anniversary Union Conference was held in Guinea Bissau, West Africa in November 2000. And through the chaos of an attempted coup d’etat in Guinea Bissau at the time of the meeting, our sisters and brothers from Azania South Africa, Guinea, Gambia, Sierra Leone, Britain and the Americas, continued to meet and work and pledged that no reactionary force will stop the unity and liberation of African People!

The Union has also supported African people’s struggle for self determination by partnering in agricultural projects in Guinea Bissau and Ghana in the 1990s, and continued to build Africa study programs for African youth. They also established the Miriam Makeba hospital project in the 1980s, and worked on women’s clothing projects in Sierra Leone and the Gambia, supported schools in Sierra Leone and Ghana.
