Screening of "A Panther in Africa"
On Thursday, May 26th, at 7:30 PM, Red Emma's will be screening the documentary "A Panther in Africa", about exiled Black Panther Pete O'Neal. Also on hand will be organizers working to free unjustly imprisoned Black Panther Marshall "Eddie" Conway, who has been in jail for 34 years as a result of a shameful Cointelpro frameup.
About the film:
On October 30, 1969, Pete O'Neal, a young Black Panther in Kansas City, Missouri, was arrested for transporting a gun across state lines. One year later, O'Neal fled the charge, and for over 30 years, he has lived in Tanzania, one of the last American exiles from an era when activists considered themselves at war with the U.S. government. Today, this community organizer confronts very different challenges and finds himself living between two worlds - America and Africa, his radical past and his uncertain future.
