Power and Asian American Leftist Activism” by

Diaspora Studies and Department of
History

February 6, 2014

Description: The Civil Rights/Black Power movements (the
Black Panther Party in particular) influenced much of the radical grassroots
activism of Asian Americans in the 1960s. Although much of the Asian
American movement was based in large part in nationalism, the Black Panther
Party either worked in coalition with Asian American groups or Asian American
groups modeled some of their methods and ideology after the Panthers.
This event is part of the Black History Month
events and is sponsored by the IU Asian Culture Center and the Neal Marshall
Black Culture Center.
