IN PERSON “Pan-Africanism in Practice” is the first program in Stand up, Fight Back! the third season of Black on Screen, guest-curated by Maysles Documentary Center Executive Director, Kazembe Balagun. In celebration of Black History Month, this season chronicles histories of Black-American and Afro-diasporic coalition building and resistance movements on screen, narrated by intersectional voices. In this political moment wherein, Black histories continue to be sanitized and often, silently erased from the canon, the moving-image works presented throughout this season also uplift Black pedagogies — from pan-africanist to Black-lesbian scholarship — critical Black thought foregrounds these films.

For this first program, Balagun screens John Henrik Clarke: A Great and Mighty Walk (1996) directed by the Harlem-born documentary filmmaker, St. Clair C. Bourne. St. Claire C. Bourne’s filmography, celebrated in a 1988 retrospective at the Whitney Museum of American Art, centers a range of subjects and social issues pertaining to Black-American life. In John Henrik Clarke: A Great and Mighty Walk, the filmmaker documents the Pan-Africanist leader John Henrik Clarke, whose critical scholarship informed the development of the field of Africana Studies. The program will take place in the Schomburg Center's American Negro Theatre (ANT).
