March 21st 1pm-3pm at Harlem River Housing (151st Street and Adam Clayton Powell Jr. Blvd) 

The Kabaka, Alice and Luqmon Institute of Non-Traditional Approaches to Human and Healing Justice (KAL) and How Our Lives Link Altogether! (H.O.L.L.A!) invite you to an Afrikan Ancestral Ceremony titled “H.O.L.L.A!’s Eddie Ellis 151st Street Healing Her/Historical Legacy Tour.This event will honor Eddie “Kabaka” Ellis’ contributions to H.O.L.L.A! & KAL and his community work in Harlem. 

Join us on March 21st, 2026, from 1 PM to 3 PM at Harlem River Housing (151st Street and Adam Clayton Powell Jr. Blvd) to engage with local community members, share information, and listen to recordings of Eddie Ellis. The gathering will include opening and closing prayers, community study, healing circles, and discussions, focusing on the impact of mass incarceration on Afrikan/Black families. 

The Eddie Ellis 151st Street Legacy Tour examines community organizing at various levels, including: individual, family, national, and transnational. It involves political education, a dedication to collective self- discovery, and the co-creation of the African Sacred Healing Justice circle at the 151st Street (her)historical site. 

A Green Haven Prison study, which Eddie helped to organize, analyzed seven neighborhood factors that account for 75% of New York State's prison population, primarily from seven Black communities in NYC. Additionally, 85% of the state's prison population consists of African working-class individuals from six (6) regions: Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, Mid-Hudson Valley, Capital Region, and NYC/Long Island/ Westchester counties.

This event aims to foster solidarity and awareness about the systemic issues affecting Black communities, particularly those linked to specific neighborhoods within the New York State prison population.

“Black revolutionaries do not drop from the moon; we are created by our conditions.
Shaped by our oppression. We are manufactured in droves in the ghetto, on the street, and in places like Attica, San Quentin, Bedford Hills, Leavenworth and Sing Sing. They are turning thousands of us....” Assata Shakur
