The Black Summer Institute is a week long training for youth that includes martial arts training, yoga, political education, and training in urban farming. Drawing from the rich history and legacy of the Black Panther Party in Oakland, California and other freedom fighting activity that occurred in the past, Tyson Amir and a team of others provide youth with a unique opportunity to learn from the past and train in the present so that they can become the leaders of a bright future tomorrow.
The Black August Summer Institute Film Premiere happened later that evening after the Lord Jamar broadcast. The Premier showed a ‘mini-movie’ of the events that took place at the 2022 Summer Institute. The film had great music, interviews, and lots of footage from the trainings, field trips, yoga sessions, and more.
There was in depth coverage from the media professionals that created the film, and youth attendees also shared their thoughts. RJN! staff was present and there was great feedback and dialogue from the viewing audience. View the film premier HERE!
