Join us at NIBS as we explore the cultural legacy of the Black Panther Party through a viewing of The Black Power Mixtape 1967-1975.
Come along to The New International Bookshop at 6 pm on Thursday June 1st for a screening of Goran Olsson's 2022 documentary The Black Power Mixtape 1967-1975.
We will be showing this archival documentary exploring the political and cultural impact of the Black Panthers. The film consists of found footage taken by a Swedish television crew in New York City between 1967 and 1975 and features interviews with the likes of Angela Davis, Stokely Carmichael and Huey P Newton. Combined with contemporary commentaries, The Black Power Mixtape explores the longstanding legacy of the party and explores the events leading to its creation.
This film will be part of a series exploring activist histories and organising techniques and we would love to invite anyone with an interest in radical history to come along.
Accessibility note: this event will take place in the back room of NIBS, located within the Trades Hall Building. This room is only accessible down a flight of stairs.
