Please join @vicmensa @ninaturnerohio @TheConsciousLee @Shut_downAmazon @AngelicaRossNow @VanLathan @fernandodeveras Rolla Selbak @sneedlaw and others as @DocMellyMel and @ButchWare host #unityuprising ‘Black Radical Traditions and Collective Liberation.’ On April 4th, the 58th anniversary of Dr. King’s martyrdom, please join us at @CalStateLA MLK Lecture Hall for a gathering of pro-Black radical thinkers, leaders, and cultural producers. #unityuprising convenes in the spirit of the great convergences of the 1960s when Malcolm and Martin, the Panthers and liberation theologians, socialists and cultural nationalists held in tension the full complexity of Black freedom struggle, and lit the path to collective liberation. Rooted in African and Diasporic Radical Traditions, and hosted by professors Melina Abdullah and Butch Ware, this gathering brings together leading figures in movement politics, culture, and organizing. The goal is to revisit and resurrect traditions of resistance and rebellion, radicalism and revolution.

Taking your calls at 800-958-9008.
