Friday February 27, 2009 21:34 by WSM
Former Black Panther and Black Liberation Army member Ashanti Alston is to speak in the Culturlann next week as part of a speaking tour of Ireland. Ashanti known as the 'anarchist panther' was a member of the Black Panther Party in the 1960s and the early 1970s. As a political prisoner Ashanti spent over a decade in US prisons and since became an anarchist while still drawing on many of his experiences and ideas that spurred him on as a Black Panther activist. |

Jump To Comment: 1Interesting character alright, similar political background to that of Lorenzo Kom'boa Ervin, the american activist, writer and Black anarchist. A former member of the Black Panther Party who had a successful tour of Ireland some years ago now. His book "Anarchism and the Black Revolution" was a great read and an equally impressive journey.
No possible 'North West' gathering for Mr Alston?
