We are in an unprecedented moment of two pandemics: Covid-19, which is new, and white supremacy, which is centuries old. Communities and social movements are demanding that we reimagine the role of police in our society as a vital step in defending Black lives, and more people are answering that call than ever before. Why now? Our panelists will give important context to this moment: what has led us here and where we can go.
La MaMa in partnership with the Center for Constitutional Rights and CultureHub presents La MaMa LiveTalks, conversations with artists, activists and thought leaders from around the country and around the world who join in discussions about art and life in times of crisis.
The panel will include Center for Constitutional Rights Executive Director, Vincent Warren, Executive Director of FIERCE, Mustafa Sullivan, and photographer, writer, and Co-Author, MFON: Women Photographers of the African Diaspora, Laylah Amatullah Barrayn.
You can join this event by tuning in on the CultureHub watch page, or LaMaMa's Facebook page to watch and join the conversation.
This event is part of the Center for Constitutional Rights programming, Juneteenth: Celebrating Black Resistance and Dreams of Freedom.
