SWOP homepageDamu Smith, 1952-2006
Peace activist Damu Smith died earlier this morning. The founder of Black Voices for Peace and the National Black Environmental Justice Network, Damu spent years fighting environmental racism, particularly in the south. He was a key leader in the anti-Apartheid movement and fought police brutality in Washington, DC and around the country. Damu was diagnosed with colon cancer last year while on a peace mission in the Occupied Territories. He then not only fought for his life, but agains tracial disparities in the health care system. Damu is survived by his daughter Aisha and his legacy lives on in all those who fight for justice.From Democracy Now!, May 5, 2006
