Join the Center for the Humanities in an Urban Environment and our friends in the Division of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, the African & African Diaspora Studies Program, and the Office of Social Justice & Inclusion for “Seizing Untapped Power in Dangerous Times: Interrogating the Urgency of the Moment in Historical Context”

The purpose of the teach-in is to acknowledge the various pressures acting upon our moment in time - including, especially, in the State of Florida - to interrogate their historical antecedents, to make visible the various through-lines transgressing time and space leading to the current moment, and to create dialogue about meaningful change, especially in the domains of education and law.

"Transforming Forced Ignorance and Information Suppression in Education."
Chike Akua, Clark Atlanta University

“Ignorance, Racial Backlash, and the Politics of Education”
Nadine V. Wedderburn, SUNY Empire State College

“Race, Law and Change”
Greg Carr, Howard University
