Description

BHM-4x3-Screen-BlackPowerAt50-NJT-SEP16

Presented by the Centre for Research in Race and Rights and the Research Priority Area in Rights and Justice.

Join the Centre for Research in Race and Rights as we celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Carmichael’s infamous slogan with a Black Power Film Festival.

We will screen Black Panther Party: The Vanguard of the Revolution (an award-winning 2015 documentary that charts the rise and fall of the Black Panther Party); The Black Power Mixtape 1967-1975 (an award-winning 2011 film that examines the evolution of the Black Power Movement in American society); and Revolution ’67 (an award-winning documentary detailing the six-day revolt against poverty and police brutality in Newark, New Jersey in 1967). We also will have brief introductions to the films and a public conversation at the end of the last screening.

Part of Black History Month 2016. You can keep up to date on events news, comment and profiles on our People and Culture blog, which we will update throughout October. You can also take a look at our gallery of events.
