2013 NYC Day of Solidarity for Black Non-Believers

The Day of Solidarity for Black Non-Believers (DoS) is held annually on the final weekend in February. Nonbelievers use this day as an opportunity to build genuine communal relationships and launch a wave of activism among non-theists of color. The DoS event is also an effort to bring out closeted nonbelievers and let them know that they are not alone.

 

The event is Free and open to the public.  ALL are Welcome.

Program - 

Ayanna Watson of Black Atheists of America has sparked a project focusing on the diversity of careers within the secular community. The project includes photographic portraits and some personal testimony about work experience, passion and aspiration.

Ayanna will introduce some of the project’s participants. There will be the chance to ask questions and share stories, including your own. 

 

Seon M. Lewis, The Spice Island Atheist and one of the voices of Caribbean Atheists, is a consistent Harlem Community member many of us know from his sharp observations, broad knowledge and warm easygoing style. He recently completed the book “From Mythology to Reality: Moving Beyond Rastafari”. His liberating intellectual journey from theism, through mystical Afrocentrism, to reasoned non-theism is one of following the evidence to where it leads. 

Seon will share how he came to write his book, which challenges  pseudo-history and false assumptions about a vital resistance culture. It also looks at how an inspiring rebel community can fall pray to sexism, racism, homophobia and xenophobia. The way he respectfully engages family and community in a conversation about mythology and fiction vs. reality and facts is an informative one. How to be Afrocentric without drowning in the dogma of Afrocentrism, or any “...ism” including our own, is part of what he’ll share. 

Sponsored by - Center for Inquiry - New York City, Black Atheists of America, African Americans for Humanism, CFI-Harlem & Harlem Humanists.

Hello Smith,

thanks for being concerned to let as more people know about my school project. Its doing fine and to clear the air get to know that the school is run by Kasese United Humanist Association, a CBO registered, also the school has been accredited to operate , see the operation permit.http://kaseseunitedhumanist.webs.com/officialdocuments.htm

There is still a lot we people can do here as a big percentage of our people are still in the bondage of belief in Magic & Superstition, this is bad for Africa and i am optimistic the school project will generate a breed of free thinkers and scientists in future. The presence of our organization  helps people to know more about Humanism, free thought which actually the locals have loved so much.

I might be having lots of enemies especially religious faithfuls but all i explain i am not at war with religion but enlightening people about living good without any attachment to beliefs in magics,supernaturals,spirits etc.

In case you happen to come to africa, make it a priority to visit us in Kasese and perhaps inform the world to set up ventures in the name of free thought.

Yours in free thought,

Bwambale robert

democracynow.org reported that bachmann's admin guy was busted for gun running (automatics) to gangs? militias? in Africa. that was about a month back that report. not to mention that idiot evangelical outta the usa funding homophobia in uganda? so lame indeed. so detrimental to scociety(s). solidarity!

Re: the discussion between Bwambale Robert and thomas smith:

 

I believe that have seen the website about the school, but it would be helpful if Bwambale Robert could provide background and information about it. 

 

I think it's uncalled for to start using the word "scam" about a member's request *before* asking for further information in good faith.
