Malcolm X Movement presents:
2016: YEAR OF THE PANTHER & THE BLACK PANTHER RESEARCH PROJECT
# In partnership with the Black Panther Alumni
# 50years since the founding of the Black Panthers
# Recruiting now for the Black Panther Research Project
# Learn about the roots, ideologies, successes and limitations of the Black Panthers, includes veteran leading Panthers delivering some of the research sessions in person!
#4 separate visits of Black Panther Alumni visiting London for concerts, exhibitions, panel and Q&A events. Events in spring, summer, autumn and winter
# Open invitation for supporting organisations to get involved.
The Panthers were a Black radical, anti-imperialist and socialist organisation that showed what is possible in terms of community organising, revolutionary consciousness building, concrete global solidarity and unity against imperialism, and opposing racism and capitalist-imeprialism in our own communities in relation to police brutality, working to get young people out of street gangs and developing them as revolutionaries amongst many other things.
This is a free course, open to people from the age of 16years old upwards. The project is London-based but are open to including participants from outside of London and England, by using social media and other learning tools for maximising inclusion. We have a capacity of around 30 participants, but are keen to include as many participants as we possibly can.
Please email 2015mxm@gmail.com to get involved!
