4-DAY INTENSIVE FOR ACTIVIST YOUTH BEGINS
Description:
This 4-part intensive meets daily from Monday, January 28 to Thursday, January 31, 6:00 – 9:00 pm. We will cover the centrality of Black resistance to slavery, Jim Crow and post-Jim Crowism. The intensive will not just focus on the struggles of North American enslaved Africans, but will also show the ways that the global nature of capitalism from its inception has meant that our fights to be free were/are global at their very roots. We will use videos and roundtable discussions with guests as our study format. There will be a short reading assignment given out on Day 1 as well as a bibliography for future reading-for-struggle. But, everyone is expected to read online Introduction to Afro-American Studies: A Peoples College Primer.
