“The Black Power Mixtape 1967-1975” – Martin Luther King Jr. Day Film, Sunday, Jan. 17 at 3 p.m.

Images and interviews collected in the late 1960s and early 1970s by Swedish journalists, have been assembled by Goran Hugo Olsson, creating a powerful, inspirational documentary that provides a fresh perspective on a tumultuous period in American history. Archival footage of well-known figures like Angela Davis, Stokely Carmichael and Martin Luther King as well as ordinary residents of Harlem, Brooklyn and Oakland, California, provides a rich counterpoint to America’s view of the Black Power movement. Following the film, Julie Weiss, historian and favorite discussant at Diversity Forum events, will lead the discussion. Sponsored by the York Diversity Forum.
