New College Cinema: An Evening With Bernadette Devlin McAlisky

Monday, 12/3 An Evening With Bernadette Devlin McAlisky McAlisky, elected as the youngest woman ever in the Westminster Parliament, has voiced a radical socialist activism inside and outside institutions of power her entire life. In 1981 she and her husband survived, wounded, an assassination attempt in their home. Even her daughter has been jailed and held, while pregnant, on no charges, as a method of threatening McAlisky's fights for freedom. Through this her inspiration, wisdom, and analysis remain steady. This film, a short lecture given to Laney College students in Oakland in 1988, she speaks on the history of Ireland as an oppressed and occupied nation, and argues for a worldwide solidarity of oppressed people in the struggle for democratic self-determination. Introduced by Angela Davis 40 minutes. 1988. Video. New College Cultural Center, 766 Valencia Street. 8:00 pm.
