"The most powerful event in the history of Black Britain," took place when over 25,000 people protested the New Cross Fire Massacre, on 18th January 1981, after a suspected racist fire-bomb attack, killed thirteen Black youths at a party.

Ligali works for the socio-political and spiritual empowerment of African people with heritage direct from Africa or indirectly via African diasporic communities, such as those in the Caribbean and South America. We believe it is important for African people to be able to self determine and therefore independently repair the injustices within our own socio-political reality instead of demanding more rights from those outside it. We work according to a system of natural justice based upon traditional African principles (such as Maat) that seeks to fix hurt with healing and reparation as opposed to responding to injustice with harmful acts of reprisal and retribution to make things even.

Slavery is no more than a state of war between a conqueror with absolute power and the conquered( John Locke: 1632-1704 ) Windrush Foundation welcomes you to MAKING FREEDOM, the website that celebrates full Emancipation in the Caribbean. It was on August the First 1838 that nearly a million Africans in British colonies won their liberty, having been enslaved for all or most of their lives. From Emancipation Day, African women re-created the family unit which had been undermined by enslavers during the previous two hundred years. The text and images on the website summarise the major events that led to Emancipation, and raise awareness about those who contributed to ending enforced servitude. The road to freedom was arduous and bloody; tens of thousands of Africans were killed in their efforts to liberate themselves. Emancipation was the beginning of a long and laborious journey towards the realisation of the right to self-determination. This website also features a selection of post-emancipation stories celebrating acts of courage and resilience which have laid the foundation for the freedom many of us enjoy today.

KUSH MEDIA GROUP INCORPORATING: Kush Promotions & PR Ltd, Kush Community Arts & Media Development, Nu-Urban Image International Pictures / www.kushfilms.com, www.luvurban.com & www.iluvblackfilms.com Entrepreneur Marlon Palmer created the company Kush Promotions & from this launched the Kush Film Club in May 1998. Marlon had previously spent 16 years as an event/club promoter on the music entertainment scene. Marlon, a great lover of the film industry felt that a promotional platform was very much needed in the UK to create widespread awareness of independent Black filmmakers & their films. Thus the new film exhibition screening platform, the Kush Film Club was launched. He also recognised that a new strategic and targeted style of marketing was needed to create widespread public awareness. Marlon decided to utilise various urban guerrilla style marketing techniques that he learnt whilst working in the nightclub promotions scene to create eventual widespread awareness of these disadvantaged and ignored filmmakers along with the necessary hype required for the Kush Film Club & its unique platform.

Through its programs and events, the Brecht Forum brings people together across social and cultural boundaries and artistic and academic disciplines to promote critical analysis, creative thinking, collaborative projects and networking in an independent community-level environment. The cornerstone of our educational conception situates movement-building within a transformative cultural process within society at large. From the beginning, our conception was based on the idea that a fundamental task of the left is to create, within existing society, a counter-hegemonic culture of working people and their allies, who are capable of challenging the capitalist agenda, prefiguring new ways of thinking and of self-organization, as well as creating new ways of relating to each other and nature.

The Uhuru Movement recognizes that we are in a war of ideas. This is a war between the dying forces of white power imperialism and the emerging forces of African Socialism for the minds of the masses of poor and oppressed people. Today Imperialism has constructed a media cartel that serves the interest of the white ruling class. This international media apparatus serves to justify the brutal oppression carried out by imperialism every day. Moreover, its objective is to ideologically unite the European nation at the expense of the African nation. This Imperialist media propaganda machine currently has a monopoly on the distribution of ideas. These ideas are intended to define our reality and shape our worldview. However, it is time for the African working class to speak for ourselves. It is time the world be seen from the perspective of the poor and oppressed masses. UhuruNews.com is Black Power in the 21st Century. It is the vision and voice of the African working-class. Our interest is to tell the truth; showing the world as it is. Our mission is to bring voice to the most oppressed and exploited sectors of the African world.

About the Nation of Islam in the United Kingdom The Nation of Islam is a body of men and women worldwide dedicated to the spiritual and mental resurrection of the human family starting with the mentally dead people of the Earth. The term mentally dead is an attribute of a people whom, following centuries of slavery, colonisation and being taken up out of their original environment, would become impotent on all the higher levels of human endeavour especially spiritually, morally, socially and economically. We believe that the condition of black people following our sojourn in slavery, through to colonisation, coupled with a continued system of contemporary mis-education and maltreatment has directly fashioned the current produce and behaviour of this community. We are in particularly concerned with the direction of the youth especially in relation to education, law and order, health and the family unit. Although today an increasing number of people from African and Caribbean backgrounds are recipients of higher university education, the level of degradation within inner city communities is an alarming reality-jolt to those that might lend themselves to either observation or study of society. We believe that the emergence of people out of this condition into a more productive lifestyle is best achieved through the receiving of an education routed in the knowledge of the One God. That knowledge we believe is indeed a knowledge of the human being him or herself.

THE Institute of Race Relations (IRR) was established as an independent educational charity in 1958 to carry out research, publish and collect resources on race relations throughout the world. In 1972, the IRR s membership backed the staff in a radical transformation of the organisation from a policy-oriented, establishment, academic institution into an anti-racist thinktank. The IRR began to concentrate on responding to the needs of Black people and making direct analyses of institutionalised racism in Britain and the rest of Europe. (For more information on the IRR s first fifty years, watch the slide show on IRR s history.) Today, the IRR is at the cutting edge of the research and analysis that inform the struggle for racial justice in Britain, Europe and internationally. It seeks to reflect the experiences of those who suffer racial oppression and draws its perspectives from the most vulnerable in society.

Art often concerns itself with the notion of identity. To explore a sense of place in the world as an individual or a member of a group is not unusual. To emerge from the inquiry (or to continue it) constantly faced with contradiction is not unusual either. Perhaps this is the beauty.

In 2002, the BBC devised a campaign and television series called 100 Great Britons where the public voted for Winston Churchill as the Greatest Briton of all time. Every Generation developed an alternative campaign and poll to raise the profile of the Black contribution to Britain and to challenge the notion of Britishness that excludes racialised communities

The Black-E (formerly The Blackie) began with the commitment to combine a contemporary arts centre with a community centre. When - having taken over the former Great George Street Congregational Church in October 1967 with the support of Peter (now Sir Peter) Moores - the team of artists led by Wendy and Bill Harpe began their cultural adventures with long term aims and with an 'open door' policy. And what might have seemed almost fortuitous at the time of the public launch in May 1968 can now be seen as essential ingredients in determining the character of the U.K.'s first community arts project, and in creating a centre where all the arts (performing and making, experimental and traditional) might engage with all the people who chose to come through the doors (young and old, disadvantaged and privileged).

The National Theatre s Black Plays Archive project was initiated by the playwright and former NT Associate Kwame Kwei-Armah, who expressed a wish to explore and engage with African, Caribbean and black British writers produced in the UK, a number of which had been largely forgotten. The aim of the project is to document the first professional production of every play by black British, African and Caribbean writers in the UK. The Black Plays Archive does not include performance poetry and art, readings, revues, cabaret, recitations, sketches or puppet shows. The project focuses solely on the premieres of these plays and as a result does not provide information for all subsequent productions.

I have been working in the film industry for over 10 years primarily in the areas of exhibition, marketing and distribution. I am currently writing my second book The Nigerian Filmmaker s Guide to Success: Beyond Nollywood. The guide is a film reference manual that pulls together industry guidance and best practice for African filmmakers. It reads as an A-Z of the key business elements of the film industry from a Nigerian cultural perspective. It is the first book to take an overview of the industry, looking beyond Nollywood and encompassing genres such as documentary, animation and Nigerian diaspora films. It lays out the framework for the future of the Nigerian film industry and in turn serves as a historical record of one of the most vibrant film cultures globally. The guide features 70 interviews with leading Nigerian filmmakers and industry practitoners. The Nigerian Filmmaker s: Guide to Success is near completion and will be launched on Saturday 20th Septermber 2014 at the British Film Institute.
