Max Rameau is a Haitian born Pan-African theorist, campaign strategist, organizer and author. In 2006 Max helped found the organization which eventually became known as Take Back the Land, to address 'Land' issues in the Black community. In October 2006, Take Back the Land seized control of a vacant lot in the Liberty City section of Miami and built the Umoja Village, a full urban shantytown, addressing the issues of land, self-determination and homelessness in the Black community. The local organization inspired a national version, the Take Back the Land Movement, a trans-local network of organizations engaged in land liberation and eviction defense in pursuit of the human right to housing and community control over land. Max Rameau and Take Back the Land have been featured in the Michael Moore movie, Capitalism: A Love Story, the New York Times, Washington Post, USA Today, Mother Jones Magazine, CNN, Good Morning America, ABC World News Tonight, NBC Nightly News, Fox News and PBS' NOW program, among others.
