When asked about revolutionaries that inspire them and book recommendations, Dead Prez mentioned Malcolm X, The Black Panthers as well as the writings of Omali Yeshitela, leader of the Uhuru Movement and the book Overturning the Culture of Violence by Penny Hess, Chairwoman of the African People's Solidarity Committee which organizes political and material solidarity with the Uhuru Movement in white communities worldwide.

The African People’s Solidarity Committee, organized under the leadership of the African People’s Socialist Party, invites other North American and European—white—people to participate in:

“Beyond the Crisis of Imperialism: the International Conference on White Solidarity with Black Power,” January 9-11 in St Petersburg, FL.

This is a call to stand in solidarity with the struggle of African people everywhere to unite and liberate Africa and all its resources.

This call comes at a time when imperialism is facing a serious political and economic crisis that has come as a result of the resistance of oppressed and colonized peoples against imperialist wars of plunder and occupation.

The crisis of imperialism demands that we take responsibility to join in solidarity with the oppressed peoples of the world who are struggling to overturn and transform this parasitic social system built on slavery, genocide, plunder and resource wars targeting the majority of humanity for our benefit.
