Stokely Carmichael - BBC Interview about Black Power

Black Panther Ten Point Program

Say It Loud Black Panther Event: Tuesday October 23^rd, 7pm to 8.30pm 

Z- Arts Gallery

Say It Loud presents an evening of discussion looking at ‘The Black Panthers’.

In October 1966, Bobby Seale and Huey P. Newton started discussions which lead to the creation of the Black Panther Party for Self Defense.

The ‘Say It Loud’ Black Panther event looks at the origins of the Panthers, their politics, their social programme and ask

• The 10 Point Programme – a radical agenda?
• Things have changed so much – what’s the relevance?
• Black Panthers 2012 – more fashion statement than model of empowerment?

If you have something to say, come and say it.

‘Art as Activism’ - Tuesday October 16th, 7 to 8.30pm
