"Assata Speaks" Book Launch & Live Political Forum

Join us for an exclusive in-person book launch and community discussion celebrating the release of Assata Speaks by author Bibi Angola, featuring guest host and grassroots organizer Kalonji Changa.

Hosted before a gathering of community organizers, scholars, and activists, this live event moves beyond traditional book signings to deliver an incisive political forum on the enduring legacy, strategy, and global relevance of Assata Shakur. Drawing directly from the insights of Assata Speaks, Angola and Changa will lead an unvarnished dialogue connecting the history of the Black Liberation Movement to the urgent realities of contemporary resistance.

Author Bibi Angola will introduce the central themes of the new book, situating Shakur’s life and writing within the material conditions, political repression, and ideological debates of the Black Panther Party and Black Liberation Army.
