Black History Film Series December – The Black Power Mixtape: 1967-1975

The doors to The Little Carver open at 5:30pm, and the film begins at 6pm.

The Black Power Mixtape: 1967-1975 mobilizes a treasure trove of 16mm material shot by Swedish filmmakers, after languishing in a basement of a TV station for 30 years, into an irresistible mosaic of images, music, and narration chronicling the evolution one of our nation’s most indelible turning points, the Black Power movement. Featuring candid interviews with the movement’s most explosive revolutionary minds, including Angela Davis, Bobby Seale, Stokely Carmichael, and Kathleen Cleaver, the film explores the community, people and radical ideas of the movement. Immediately following the film, join us for the lively panel discussion.

Not only will we host the film with a lively panel discussion, your registration gives you free access to the after-party with a DJ spinning tunes for your dancing enjoyment from the past and present! SO WEAR YOUR 60’S/70’S ATTIRE!

ADMISSION IS FREE, BUT REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED!
