The Black Power Mixtape: 1967-1975 with Danny Glover

The New School and Haymarket Books present

Danny Glover and other special guests discussing the new book:

The Black Power Mixtape: 1967-1975

Edited by Göran Olsson, Featuring Angela Davis and Stokely Carmichael, and a foreword by Danny Glover

Doors at 7 PM. Book-signing to follow.

The Black Power Mixtape: 1967 – 1975 is an extraordinary window into the black freedom struggle in the United States, offering a treasure trove of fresh archival information about the Black Power movement from 1967 to 1975 and vivid portraits of some of its most dynamic participants, including Angela Davis and Stokely Carmichael.

The book — like the documentary film that inspired it — includes historical speeches and interviews by: Stokely Carmichael (Kwame Ture), Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Eldridge Cleaver, Bobby Seale, Huey P. Newton, Emile de Antonio, and Angela Davis. And it also features new commentary voiced by: Erykah Badu, Talib Kweli, Harry Belafonte, Kathleen Cleaver, Angela Davis, Robin Kelley, Abiodun Oyewole, Sonia Sanchez, Bobby Seale, John Forte, and Questlove.

“We have much to learn from these visionary organizers who sought to redefine and re-imagine democracy, whose sense of empowerment derived from the belief that the people could be the architects for change.” —Danny Glover, from the preface
