About this Event
Among the many things he is known for; theoretician, intellectualist, agronomist, anti-colonialist leader, revolutionary….Amilcar Cabral is considered one of the greatest leaders of all time. As one of the leaders of the African Party For the Independence of Guinea and Cape Verde (PAIGC), Cabral led the movement to free the two countries from Portuguese rule. Although Amilcar Cabral was assassinated in 1973, Guinea-Bissau gained their independence in that year and Cape Verde gained their independence in 1975. This film “Honoring Amilcar” captures Amilcar Cabral’s influence and impact on several social justice involved Black people in Cape Verde and The United States. Several threads of Amilcar Cabral’s philosophies, practices, values and virtues are connected through the testimony of the interviewees. Several emerging themes are his focus on the importance of culture, disciplined revolutionary practice and strategy, class struggle, African identity, humanitarianism, anti-colonialism-fascism-racism and the need for solidarity. Representing three generations, the film features testimony from Fania E. Davis, Larry Clark, Rahkii Holman, Sanyika Bryant, Akinyele Umoja, Kari Malkki and Delfim Spencer Freitas.
