The Black Power Revolt of the 1960s
A Black Panther Speaks
Featuring Aaron Dixon, founder of the Seattle chapter of the Black Panther Party
Thursday March 7, 7:00pm
Codman Square Great Hall, 6 Norfolk Street, Dorchester, MA
Aaron Dixon founded the Seattle chapter of the Black Panther Party in 1968 at age nineteen. Dixon brought the BPP's radical education, self-defense and Free Breakfast for Children programs to Seattle, and opened a free community medical and legal clinic. Through his eyes -- in a memoir that begins with the story of his enslaved ancestors and takes us on a journey throughout America -- we see the courage of a generation, and the unforgettable legacy of Black Power.
