1st Annual Subliminal Suggestion: "Images and the Mind" Symposium Event Flyer

Los Angeles, African Collective, presumed Publisher, 1983. Unbound. Single sheet, blue paper stock. 8 ½ by 11 inches. Printed on a single side only. A flyer for a two day event, held August 20-21, 1983 at the Elegant Manor in the West Adams neighborhood of Los Angeles. Titled Subliminal Suggestion: "Images and the Mind" Symposium, it appears the event had panel discussions featuring poet Kamau Daa'ood, Omowale Fowles, Dr. Anyim Palmer, Majied Mahdi and others. Cheka Abubakari served as moderator. A film "A Different Image" was shown, and cultural dance, poetry, information booths on holistic health, legal rights, recycling, etc. were present. Our research turned up nothing specific related to the African Collective or the symposium, although it seems to have been something where people could embrace and celebrate their African roots. The event was held at Elegant Manor, a mansion that once served as the epicenter for Black community activities in that region of Los Angeles. GOOD condition. Several spots of staining near the upper right, with some discoloration at the upper left. Three tiny drip stains near the right edge. Minor fading and some spotting to the piece. Good .

[Black Culture, Black Power]; Majahliwa, Yuseff

Venellah's Meeting Agenda on Black International Cultural Services and Products M.G. I.C. S.A. Letterhead. Handwritten Agenda

No Place, No publisher, 1983. Unbound. No publisher, place or date. Presumed Los Angeles, 1983. Single sheet, 8 ½ by 11 inches. Printed on a single side only. A handwritten agenda for "Venellah's Meeting," with a date of 2-10-83 at the top and the signature of Yuseff Majahliwa at the upper left. The agenda for this meeting consisted of 7 items: prayer; purpose to build a most hight spiritual family; major concern; cultural activities; social development activities; resources and economics; concluding prayer. Our research did not turn up a definition of Venellah, nor could we find the organization Black International Cultural Services and Products. We did note that the letters M.G.I.C.S.A are an anagram of magics, and there is a cryptic symbol below the letters. Yuseff Majahliwa is listed as founder and chief administrator. According to Peniel E. Joseph in "The Black Power Movement", Majahliwa was briefly a member of the US organization (founded by Ron Karenga) in the late 1960s, dropping out in 1970. It appears Majahliwa was instrumental in organizing an annual Kwanzaa parade in Los Angeles, starting in 1978. He also founded the organization Kwanzaa People of Color in LA, which helped spread information about Kwanzaa (Joseph, see pages 246-247 for previous information). GOOD condition. Spotting and staining to the paper, with some wrinkling and creasing. Light toning. Good .
