The Nu Skool of Afrikan American Thought 10th Anniversary Celebration!

Come celebrate 10 years of The Nu Skool of Afrikan American Thought! Black by popular demand and still going strong, our community has attended and supported the unapologetically Black, intergenerational intellectual space known as "The Nu Skool" every 4th Friday of the month since it's inception in March 2015. Our mission is to engage people of African descent in their own liberation through education. This festive event will celebrate the 10th Anniversary of Nu Skool with African drumming, music, food for the soul, a digital photo booth experience, awards and a dynamic speaker, Africana Studies scholar and historian, Dr. Scot Brown, Associate Professor of African American Studies at UCLA. We have an amazing night planned. Solidarity-Twin Cities and Professor Mahmoud El-Kati extend to you a personal invitation as our guest. Your presence is our present! African/cultural attire is encouraged.
