Alianza in a Racial City
Description: An intergenerational conversation on Community-building, Education, and Afro-Diaspora Solidarity in Chicago.
Where do our histories and current concerns cross paths and diverge? What do we mean when we say ‘solidarity’? How does Chicago as a segregated city shape alliances and agitate new educational possibilities?
Join us for a unique dialogue between some of the best artists, activists, and educators in Chicago.
