Uhuru Pies:

Uhuru Pies is a Northern California holiday tradition. Named for the Swahili word for freedom, Uhuru Foods & Pies is one of the dynamic economic development institutions of Black Star Industries. Co-sponsored by the African People's Education and Development Fund. Pie purchases support the development of an independent African (black) economy that African people are building to once again own and control their own resources, including land, food production and distribution worldwide. The goal is to meet the needs of their own people everywhere for prosperity, decent housing, health and the ability to follow their own aspirations to contribute to the development and well-being of African people and our society: a vision that we can all support.
