we give great honor to the Pottawattomie Natives at Chickagou whose land was colonized by French and English white settlers in 1835. Peace and light to their spirits. In the name of our Native ancestors, our Negro ancestors and the living community of Black folks on the South side of Chicago, our mission for the Liberated Quilombo Land Project is to create space to continue in the Black Radical Tradition of organizing, community-building, and cultivating “home” for ourselves and our People in the city.
