Omali Yeshitela
Omali Yeshitela (born Joseph Waller) is the founder of the Uhuru Movement, an African Internationalist organization based in St. Petersburg, Florida with members throughout the world.
==Early background==
Born in St. Petersburg, Florida, Yeshitela participated in the American Civil Rights Movement in his youth during the 1950s and 1960s as a member of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee. At the height of the civil rights movement in St. Petersburg, Waller was jailed for an act of civil disobedience in 1966, when he tore a mural displayed at City Hall which depicted black musicians serenading white partygoers, a scene Waller termed a degrading caricature of African Americans. However, Herman Goldner, the mayor of St. Petersburg at the time and a civil rights advocate himself, rejected Waller's claim. "I find nothing offensive in the portrayal of strolling troubadours and picnickers at Pass-a-Grille Beach. ... I think you know that I, personally, am not a racist. I think ... that all of our minority groups must mature to the point where self-consciousness is not a motivating factor for complaints."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Andrew Meacham, "Mayor packed ideas, pipe tobacco in rich public life," September 15, 2010 )〕 Goldner's reaction in this situation was comparable to that two years later in 1968, when Governor Spiro T. Agnew of Maryland lectured black activists following the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Streets of Fire: Governor Spiro Agnew and the Baltimore City Riots, April 1968 )〕
Waller spent two and a half years in jail and prison.〔 After Waller's release, he was stripped of his right to vote for decades until Governor Jeb Bush and three members of the Florida Cabinet restored Waller's voting rights in 2000.
