Join us for a community commemoration rooted in Black history, culture, and resilience. We’ll reflect on the life and writings of Assata Shakur (formerly of the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense and the Black Liberation Army) through African dance and drumming, video presentations, and reflections from activists, educators, and community members. From the drum to the mic, this intergenerational gathering lifts up our stories, sparks thoughtful dialogue, and centers healing, learning, and community care.
