From Monroe, North Carolina to the global stage, Robert and Mabel Williams stood at the forefront of the struggle for justice. Their fight for Black liberation and international solidarity helped shape the path of the Civil Rights and Black Power movements — inspiring Malcolm X, the Black Panther Party, and global freedom struggles.
This gripping new book paints an intimate portrait of two fearless pioneers whose voices still call us to action today.
Featured speakers include Professor Akinyele K. Umoja and Lisa Williams, daughter-in-law of Robert and Mabel Williams.
It’s happening Saturday, October 4th, from 2 to 4pm at La Peña Cultural Center in Berkeley. Suggested donation $25 at the door, no one turned away. Books will be available for purchase.
