The officers and members of the National Black United Front (NBUF) extend our warmest condolences to the family and friends of our brother Omowale Olanrejawu at this time of his transition. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Brother Omowale served as the NBUF-Houston Chapter Secretary for many years. In this capacity he made great contributions to our organization. He gave his time, expertise, and resources willingly to all our endeavors. His impactful contributions extended to providing significant financial backing to the NBUF headquarters in Houston and making foundational contributions to our annual Sankofa Caravan honoring our ancestors. He is widely acknowledged for his outstanding historical research on the African presence in Texas/Galveston, notably uncovering the convict lease system exploited by the Imperial Sugar Company. A pioneering visionary in anti-police brutality and community empowerment e orts, he leveraged personal nances to secure speakers from around the globe and maintained a committed presence at protests, rallies, forums, and humanitarian aid initiatives. In short, this brother was totally committed to the liberation of African people.
