In an era of intensifying civil rights struggle and as a global movement against imperialism was on the rise, Black Power entered the scene and shook the status quo in the United States. As cities were burning, people took to the streets in response to anti-Black police brutality and youth protested en masse against the genocidal U.S. war in Southeast Asia. 

During this historic juncture, the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense emerged in Oakland, California, seizing the global imagination and forever transforming the landscape of radical organizing. Please join us for a screening of Stanley Nelson’s documentary, The Black Panthers: Vanguard of the Revolution, which sheds light on the Black Panther Party from the perspective of its members, its supporters, and those who sought to bring it down. 

Community discussion to follow the screening.  Watch trailer here
