Join us for the MX60 National Convention, a vital gathering for activists, community builders, and artists to reflect on the legacies of anti-racism and community building in the UK. This event marks the 60th Anniversary of Malcolm X's visit to Smethwick, where he witnessed the impact of racial prejudice and reinforced the global struggle against racism.
As Britain faces rising racial violence and persistent myths surrounding immigration, this convention aims to unite individuals from diverse backgrounds to confront hatred and foster understanding. We will explore the lessons learned over the past six decades in tackling racism and building progressive communities.
Key Highlights:
Engage with influential speakers, including:
Chetan Bhatt (LSE Human Rights)
Gus John (Campaigner for Equity and Human Rights)
Lila Tamea (Activist and Educator)
Mukhtar Dar (Cultural Activist)
Paul Gilroy (Theorist of Race and Racism)
Participate in workshops focused on developing local strategies for anti-racist activism.
