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.
Program Highlights
African dance & drumming welcome
Readings and video excerpts
Community speakers and open reflections
Next-steps conversation: how we can continue community-centered work in D.C. (mutual aid, youth mentoring, civic education)
Who Should Attend:
Elders, youth, educators, artists, organizers, and neighbors committed to learning, reflection, and constructive community engagement.
