The U.S. is waging war on African communities inside the U.S. and around the world. From police containment, torture and murder to massive imprisonment, these "other" wars are comparable to commonly recognized wars such as those in Iraq and Afghanistan. This slideshow was produced by Penny Hess, Chairwoman of the African People's Solidarity Committee and based on the understandings of Chairman Omali Yeshitela, leader of the Uhuru Movement.
