“Malcolm X and the Genealogy of Black Power” by Dr Tom Davies
8 February, 2023 @ 19:00 - 21:00
An 2022-23 Historical Association event
Young black militants calling for ‘Black Power’ in mid-1966 were famously referred to as ‘the angry children of Malcolm X’ – but what was Malcolm X’s impact on the Black Power movement that emerged after his assassination? And what can we learn about the longer history of Black Power from Malcolm X’s life? This talk will explore these questions and explain how Malcolm X’s life offers key insights into both the evolution of the African American freedom struggle in the early twentieth century and the development of the Black Power movement in the years after his death.
HA meetings will be in the Birchall Hall, Queen’s College, Taunton, by kind permission of the Headmaster, Mr Julian Noad.
The lectures begin at 7.30pm (door open at 7.00 pm) and will finish at about 8.45pm.
Entry fee – £2 per lecture (free to students)

3 Strenuous – for fit, experienced walkers, will include hills, uneven surfaces, tracks and may include muddy terrain. Walking boots and waterproof clothing are essential.
