Past Event: Partnership Event: MLK Day Panel - The Black Liberation Movement: Letters from a Birmingham Jail to Black Lives Matter
糖心传媒
The resistance to slavery and the Transatlantic Slave trade began at the very instant that Africans were first enslaved by colonizing forces from western Europe. The movement advancing the liberation of Black people has taken various forms over the centuries. From the everyday acts of resistance by enslaved people to the organized underground railroad; from the 鈥淭urn around Tuesday鈥 to 鈥淏lack Lives Matter鈥; generations of Black activists have staunchly advanced the ideal of human rights for all despite pervasive racism and systemic oppression.
In this panel we bring together three generations of Black scholars, thinkers and activists to reflect on the legacy of Rev. Martin Luther King Jnr. and the continued struggle for Black Liberation.
From aspiration to action, join us for lightning talks and conversation to find ways to work together for social change. Led by DU Grand Challenges in partnership with ODEI, C+V, and IEE.
Stay tuned for the kick off registration link, speaker line-up, and more!
