The Dreaming Justice Series provides the community with opportunities to engage with scholars, educators, and artists around topics of education and race. Let this be the year that we learn how to be allies to socially marginalized groups, seek justice, and fight for the un-mattered. Join us as we dream and act for justice.
Upcoming Dreaming Justice Event:
The Black Panthers You Didn’t Learn in School
April 22, 2021, 4:30-5:45 p.m. PDT
The Black Panther Party was one of the most important organizations in the history of the Black freedom struggle and yet its legacy has been deeply distorted in American history textbooks. In some textbooks, the Panthers are barely mentioned and in others, they are maligned as anti-White and the cause for the demise of the Civil Rights Movement.
The rise of the Black Lives Matter movement has inspired a new appreciation for the Black Panthers—and the battle for the truth about their legacy is more important than ever.
Join Jesse Hagopian, co-editor of Teaching for Black Lives, for an interactive lesson on the Black Panther Party and an examination of their importance to the struggle for racial justice today.
A Zoom webinar link will be emailed 24 hours before the event to all who RSVP. If you have questions please let us know by emailing: dei-events@oes.edu.
