The Vietnam War and the Black Power Protest Movement

The Vietnam War and the Black Power Protest Movement

Online

Return to the turbulent 1960s as the civil rights movement morphed into a nationwide protest against a widening war. Historian Syl Woolford uncovers little known facts about the Black Panther Party in America and also Algeria, North Korea, and North Vietnam to help better understand why the Vietnam War was so divisive and how we can apply these lessons today.

Syl Woolford is a native Delawarean and a graduate of Delaware State University with a BS Degree in Business Administration/Accounting. He is also a graduate of Rutgers University with a MBA in Marketing. He has recently retired from a career in accounting and sales with such firms as Campbell Soup, IBM, Pacific Telesis and Sun Information Services.

Mr. Woolford’s interest in history began with the researching of his own family history. He traced his mother’s family back 210 years in the city of Newark, Delaware.

All his presentations are drawn from primary source documents and first person narratives. 

This program will be conducted via Zoom.  Registration is required with an email address.  Participants will receive instructions for joining the meeting via email ONE HOUR before it is scheduled.
