Gen Y Project chose Black Power Mixtape because we felt like this film
would open peoples mind and allow folks to understand how the black community
has been oppressed by the system since the birth of this country. It also
points out how The Black Panther Party was governing their own communities and
empowering the black community to become activist and conscience about the
racist world that surrounded them back then. It was sad and heartbreaking to
see how drugs destroyed our people and took their minds away from the
revolution, democracy, and future of the black community.
After the movie, everyone had a
chance to turn in Q/A cards to discuss key events (all events was key) that
touched them the most about the movie; that allowed us to have conversations
around issues in our communities today, and how we can get our black
communities to become more conscience about the issues that affects and
oppresses our youth and young adults.
