Scholar Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor’s From #BlackLivesMatter to Black Liberation examines the historical and modern moments and movements that have exposed the deep, structurally unequal roots of police violence and larger systems of mass incarceration. The recently released second edition expands on her original analysis of the #BlackLivesMatter movement and its potential to usher forward larger movements for Black liberation with a new chapter and a foreword from Angela Y. Davis.Join us for our free virtual event September 21st, at 5 p.m. (PT) / 8 p.m. (ET), where Dr. Taylor, activist and creative Nikkita Oliver, and Marguerite Casey Foundation CEO Carmen Rojas, will discuss this fight for Black liberation and the role philanthropy can play in supporting how we get there.
