Development Notice: Reparation Nation Limited confirms that its board has approved the plan to help heal the “great rift” between the Alkebulan movement and the African Caribbean Leadership Company Limited as part of the wider IBIS reparatory justice development plan.
The purpose of this development is to support reconciliation, practical cooperation, cultural restoration, and institutional alignment between existing African-centred community activity and the proposed reparatory justice infrastructure.
This page recognises the Alkebulan movement as an established African-centred liberation, cultural, spiritual, and community movement, and recognises ACLC as an existing African Caribbean organisational structure connected to the wider community history of the former West Indian Cultural Centre.

The plan is to bring those functions into constructive alignment without confusing their separate roles.
To avoid misunderstanding, the following separations are necessary:
The strategic purpose is to create a permanent African Caribbean institutional base capable of supporting cultural restoration, community gathering, identity work, public education, reparatory justice planning, and practical community administration.
If successful, the refurbished centre would operate as a bridge between:
Reparation Nation Limited confirms that its board has approved the plan to support the healing of the “great rift” between the Alkebulan movement and ACLC as part of the wider plan for the restored African Caribbean centre and IBIS reparatory justice infrastructure.
The intended outcome is a stable, weekly, African-centred community meeting structure connected to a wider institutional plan for reparatory justice, identity restoration, cultural protection, and African Caribbean community development.
