Fifty years ago, Trinidad and Tobago experienced one of its most transformative periods – the Black Power Revolution. This conference, hosted by the Sir Arthur Lewis Institute of Social and Economic Studies (SALISES) and the National Joint Action Committee (NJAC), seeks to demystify the revolution and clarify the distortions and misinformation that have existed about it in the public domain. Its purpose is to enlighten people, especially the youth, on the significance of the events that occurred during the period, and combine academic research and analysis with the experience of some of the revolutionaries of the era.
Attendance is free. To register, visit: https://bit.ly/blackpowerrevconference. For more information, email francine.alleyne@sta.uwi.edu or go to https://sta.uwi.edu/salises/.
