Conference: Congo Independence 50 Years Later: The Continuing Pursuit
True Reformer Building, Lankford Auditorium 1200 U Street, NW, Washington, DC, United StatesOn June 30, 2010, the Democratic Republic of Congo will celebrate its 50th year of independence from Belgian colonial rule. Celebrations will take place throughout the globe commemorating this golden anniversary. Not all Congolese are celebrating, however. Nor are peace and justice loving people as a whole, who value and respect a more united and elevated African continent. That ultimate independence and liberation of the Congo has yet to be achieved.
