Join members of Manchester's emerging black led organisation, Pan African Congress Threads (PACT). A group of local younger African activists working to raise awareness locally, nationally and internationally , in conversation with Morenga Bambata and Ekua Bayunu who met in 1990 in the All African People's Revolutionary Party.
Bringing the conversation forward we will be joined by activists from London, Ghana and Kenya. Looking at that late 20th century organising, what it took from the 5th Pan African Conference in and what lessons it has for political and community organising in the 21st Century, and ask: How can we de centre Europe from socialist organising and learn the lessons of the global African liberation struggles now and in the past?
Morenga Bambata travelled to Britain in the 1980s in place of Kwame Ture, who was banned from entering the country. His mission was to set up the All African People's Revolutionary Party in Britain, and Manchester eventually became his home and base from which he organised across the country.
Ekua Bayunu is an artist, grandmother , activist and politician.
Kofi Jerry Genya is the Co-Principal Coordinator, Pro-Nkrumah Unity Movement Pan-Afrikan Youthguard Pioneers Action League, and a teacher in the Peki Secondary-Technical School, in the Volta Region of Ghana
Amma is the British representative of the Ghana-based Positive Action Citizens Coalition (PACC).
