The book documents the First World Tribunal on Reparations for African People in the U.S., organized by the African People's Socialist Party and held in Brooklyn, New York in 1982.

This historic hearing used international law to put the U.S. government on trial for genocide against African people. The Panel of Judges ruled that the U.S. owed $4.1 trillion in reparations to African people.

Chairman Omali Yeshitela served as the People’s Advocate presiding over the proceedings. This historic book, records his statements and the testimonies of African workers, academics and experts. Compelling testimonies were given by Professor Leonard Jeffries, Black Panther leader Afeni Shakur, Professor Del Hunter, Attica Prison resister Akil Al-Jundi, political prisoner Mafundi Lake and many more. 

For today’s study, we’re going to be reading the powerful presentations delivered by the People’s Advocate, Chairman Omali Yeshitela. Chairman Omali delivered the Tribunal’s opening statement, summaries on the indictment of the U.S. for the crime of genocide and the final verdict.
