Abstract
In asserting our right to self-determination, Black community-based institutions must control the resources and organizations that provide for the material needs of the Black community. As capitalism has never served the masses of Black people, this panel explores the possibilities of creating a Black-led, alternative economic system. Lifting up the legacy of the late Chokwe Lumumba, this panel will engage its participants in a discussion of organizing and lawyering strategies towards Black economic self-determination and Black Liberation, emphasizing the need for local and global Black-led solidarity economies.
