The evening was introduced by Bernadette Devlin McAliskey who reminisced about a trip to New York in the '60s when she met and felt an immediate rapport with members of the Black Panther Party.
When she was presented with "The Keys to New York City" she passed them to Eamonn McCann who on a subsequent trip presented them to the Black Panther Party.
Then there were talks by Emory Douglas about - his artwork
and Billy "X" Jennings - about the Black Panther Party archive.
This was followed by a panel discussion with Billy "X" Jennings and Emory Douglas chaired by Eamonn McCann.

"What is a pig? - A Low natured beast that has no regard for law, justice, or the rights of people;
a creature that bites the hand that feeds it; a foul, depraved traducer, usually found masquerading as the victim of an un-provoked attack"
