All Power to the People: The Black Panther Party at 60 Film Screening & Workshop

To mark the 60th anniversary of the founding of the Black Panther Party for Self Defence (1966 – 2026), Black History Studies presents film screening and workshop to celebrate the founding of the Black Panther Party for Self Defence and asks the question ‘how is the Black Panther Party 10-point programme relevant to the progressive activism of today.

Archival footage is combined with interviews, from ex-CIA officer Philip Agee, journalist/filmmaker Gordon Parks, and former FBI Special Agent W. Swearingen to various Panthers and political radicals.

The ‘All Power to the People – The Black Panther Party’ film covers slavery, civil-rights activists, assassinations in the ’60s, and it explores methods used by police, the FBI, and the CIA to divide and destroy the key figures in the Black Panthers. The film expands beyond the Panther history to more recent times, covering Reagan-Era events, privacy threats from new technologies and the failure of the War Against Drugs.

The event will end with a discussion on

  • What can we learn from the Black Panther Party, e.g. lessons in leadership, community, resistance and self-determination?
  • How is the Black Panther Party 10-point programme relevant to the progressive activism of today?
