e Officers and Members of the National Black United Front (NBUF) extend a clinched Black Fist of Solidarity to the biological family of Sister Chairperson Viola Plummer as well as the Sisters and Brothers of the December 12th Movement (D12) at this time of her transition to the realm of the Holy Ancestors. The relationship between NBUF members and Sister Chairperson Viola Plummer goes back over half a century before the founding NBUF or D12 due to the commonality of New York based activists, organizers, and revolutionaries. Indeed, we have shared many battles. In the last thirty years under the servantship of ancestor NBUF Chairman Emeritus Dr. Conrad Worrill we have worked together on or participated in a number of efforts including:
- We Charge Genocide Campaign
- Million Youth March
- Durban 400 United Nations World Conference Against Racism
- The Black Power Conference
- Millions for Reparations
- The Fight for the life of Shaka Sankofa (Gary Graham)
- Harlem Shutdown on Malcolm X Birthday
- Stop the Bombing of Libya, End Sanctions on Zimbabwe
During all of these efforts and more Sister Chairperson Viola Plummer exhibited strength, servantship, valuable wisdom and a steadfast commitment to the liberation of African people. NBUF has leaned heavily on the expertise of D12, particularly in the international arena. Its organizational relationship should serve as a model of how different formations can work together on common goals. Finally, we must do as Vi exalted us during her 86th birthday celebration “FINISH THE GIG”!
