Be part of the Black and Latino Alumni Community and the Division of Africana Research for a Black Historical past Month digital occasion on Wednesday, February 24, from 7 pm to 9 pm.
Kamala Harris’ inauguration final month was a milestone — the manifestation of a metamorphosis that started within the current election cycle. Black girls have emerged as a robust pressure in politics, from Joe Biden and Kamala Harris’ victory to the grassroots organizing energy of Stacey Abrams within the Georgia Senate runoffs.
The panel will look at the roots of this motion — courting again to the work of barrier-shattering girls like Shirley Chisholm, Sojourner Reality and Fannie Lou Hamer — and can analyze the potential influence on the nation’s course within the post-Trump period.
