The Black Power Mixtape 1967 - 1975 ...have you watched it??

Thanks to my good friend Miss Sabina Beatz  , I was able to go to this amazing Event at the Paddington Arts Centre. At first I wasn't too sure, what kind of Event it was - I only knew that it had something to do with the Black History Month.

However once I got there I was so happy that I did go.

We watched a documentary about the Black Power Movement, which was absolutely fascinating.
