[Casey Doyle]

*February Events and Hours*
Center for Marxist Education | 550 Mass Ave, Cambridge | 2nd Floor
*Sunday Film & Discussion*
*Black Power Mixtape*
Sunday, February 22
*Two Showings: 2:00pm and 6:00pm*
During the rise of The Black Power Movement in the 60 s and 70 s, Swedish
Television journalists documented the unfolding cultural revolution for
their audience back home, having been granted unprecedented access to
prominent leaders such as Angela Davis, the SNCC's Stokely Carmichael, and
Black Panthers founders Huey P. Newton and Bobby Seale. Now, after more
than 30 years in storage, this never-before-seen footage spanning nearly a
decade of Black Power is finally available. Director Goran Hugo Olsson
presents this mixtape, highlighting the key figures and events in the
movement, as seen in a light completely different than the narrative of the
American media at the time. Talib Kweli, Erykah Badu, Abiodun Oyewole, John
Forte, and Robin Kelley are among the many important voices providing
narration and commentary, adding modern perspective to this essential time
capsule of African-American history. (96 minutes)

   *Why the Capitalists Are So Weak: An Introduction to Marxist World
Political Economy*
Saturday, February 28th - 3-5pm
Capitalism has the weapons to destroy the world a few thousand times over.
But it is too weak to stop the destruction of environment and society which
threatens humanity. This presentation looks at reasons why, in what is
effectively an introduction to Marxist international political economy. Led
by Wadi'h Halabi of the Center for Marxist Education and the Economics
Commission of the CPUSA. Based on presentations in China.
