The bias in schools gives the impression that racism and civil rights was an American issue and totally ignores the struggles African- British people endured. This presentation will give you the numerous names  and achievements of those black people born here who fought against British racism over the last 400 years and made your life easier.

One highlight will be the unveiling of the amazing black history hidden in the streets, building and monuments History that’s 'in your face' in places like Westminster, St Pauls, National Gallery, New Cross, Bank, Leicester Square etc., but remains largely unknown due to false education and brainwashing.Bring pen and pad.

The full story of Cuba’s direct and continuing influence on the history of the world is not widely known . In Africa Cuban direct action has been more crucial than anywhere else.
How many people know that Che Guevara, had crossed Lake Tanganyika in a boat with an armed escort, initiating a Cuban military presence that lasted more than 26 years, and which was undoubtedly crucial to the liberation of at least half a dozen countries, especially South Africa.

At the same time, the extraordinary initiative of the Cuban doctors was developed and expanded until it has become a rational, comprehensive and full frontal world-historical attack on preventable disease and the diseases of poverty. This is a one off chance to see a rare and exciting film about how the ‘Third World’ freed itself from colonialism
