Message from the founder of Community Against Hate:

The Beat Goes On is an event created in 1997 by
Maurice "Soulfighter" Taylor, then president of
African American Cultural society at Springfield
Technical Community College. This is an edutainment
event designed to network the college communities with
the larger communities for socially conscious action
in our communities of the African Diaspora. This event
is dedicated to those that fought and died for our
freedom. In an interview with Kwame Ture before he
died, he stated that he believed that he was dying
from government induced cancer, but that "The beat
must go on." He referred to the beat as the causes
that keep us marching, fighting for justice, and
working toward better living conditions. This event is
dedicated to Ida B. Wells, Harriet Tubman, Thurgood
Marshall, Dr Martin Luther King Jr, Malcolm X, as well
as those living to bring us close to the light,
understanding, and actions of freedom as people,
races, religions, as a whole.

Para todos la luz.
Para todos todo.
Para nosotros el dolor y la angustia, para nosotros la alegre rebeldía, para
nosotros el futuro negado, para nosotros la dignidad insurrecta.
Para nosotros nada.
