The Black Power Mixtape 1967–1975 brings electrifying, long-lost footage of the Black Power Movement back to life, with intimate moments featuring Angela Davis, Stokely Carmichael, Huey P. Newton, and more. It explores the movement’s push for self-reliance, pride, and truthful history, while also grappling with the tensions between nonviolent civil rights activism and Black Power nationalism. Netfa Freeman, the Events Coordinator and Analyst or the Institute for Policy Studies, will lead the discussion following the film.
The screenings are hybrid: in-person at the Café and via Zoom. Those unable to attend in-person can register to watch via Zoom at https://tinyurl.com/RnMFeb2026.
Come discuss how the spirit of Black Power continues to inspire change today.
