Our next event presented by Robin Walker is titled:
The African American Struggle for Equality and the Lessons for Black Britain (from Booker T. Washington to Barak Obama)
The election of Senator Obama to the position of President is clearly of great historical importance. However, there has been no real analysis of what this means to the general struggle for equality or the lessons that this has for Black Britain. This presentation charts the story from Washington through Garvey, Muhammad, King, The Panthers, to the present day. This thought provoking lecture will encourage critical thinking and serious debate.
This event will take place on MONDAY 12TH JANUARY 2009 from 6.45pm to 9.30pm.
The event will be held at the PCS Headquarters, 160 Falcon Road, Clapham Junction, London SW11 2LN, (3 minutes walk from Clapham Junction mainline station. Buses to the venue 35, 37, 39, 49, 77, 87, 156, 170, 219, 239, 295, 319, 337, 334, 345, C3, G1). There will be an admission charge of £4 per person. PLEASE ARRIVE AT LEAST 15 MINUTES EARLY.
