Please note that this event is scheduled to take place at Slought Foundation, located at 4017 Walnut Street.
IAMM Science Education Group, Paul Robeson House & Museum, and Slought/Public Trust are pleased to announce Comrade Sisters, a celebration uplifting the stories and experiences of Black Panther Party women from Philadelphia and beyond, on Sunday, February 5, 2023 from 4-7pm. Free and open to the public, this community forum will feature a panel discussion with invited book contributors from the recent publication of Comrade Sisters: Women of the Black Panther Party (2022), who will all be in dialogue with local veteran Black women activists.
The rich impact of the Black Panther Party remains deeply felt in Philadelphia. Many of the Black women from Philadelphia who have helped shape and enliven Black Panther Party organizing in the 1960's and 1970's continue to serve as mentors and guideposts for younger generations. We recognize this as an opportunity to thread generations of activism, recovering lessons from our glorious past that can be applied to today's moment. Join us as we spotlight the unsung legacies of Black women in the Black Panther Party, and recover their significant contributions to wider historical struggles for global Black liberation.
