Institute of
African American Affairs at New York University
presents
The Black
Panthers Worldwide Revisited
An international
symposium on the influence of the revolutionary and liberation movement of
Black Panthers
in the
1960s/1970s in the USA
Friday, November
30th, 2012 / 6:00 pm
Free and Open to
the Public
The Institute of
African American Affairs presents a roundtable reunion of Panthers from
America, India, Israel, UK, and Australia will primarily be focused on the
experiences of the members of their respective movements. The participants will
explain why they formed a Panther Party and what was their inspiration, among
other things. The idea is to provide students, scholars and the general
audience with an opportunity to be exposed to an international oral history,
archives, and memories that are not widely known and associated with the
history of the Black Panthers in America. Additionally, the roundtable
will also explore the links between the struggle for justice then and now.
