Black Power in Bermuda, Book signing and discussion
6:30P
FREE 
A transnational, pan-African youth movement, Black Power in Bermuda sought freedom for Blacks from the island's White oligarchy and independence from British colonialism. It was spearheaded by activists such as Pauulu Kamarakafego and the Black Beret Cadre. The Cadre maintained relationships with revolutionary organizations across the African Diaspora, such as the Black Panthers. Emerging in the late 1960s, the Movement witnessed the assassinations of Bermuda's British Chief of Police and Governor (1972-1973). Assistant Professor of History at Howard University, Quito Swan carefully details the island's colonial government's attempts to destroy the Movement through military tactics, extensive propaganda, and the implementation of token social concessions. (P.S. You should, like, spend your whole weekend at Sankofa this weekend. Just saying: Sunday's gonna be kinda like that!)
