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 time 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.
The Water in Which We Swim
Thursday, April 21, 7 p.m. PST
Musical duo Stephen Brackett and Jamie Laurie are the lead emcees of FloBots, the Denver-based alternative hip-hop band known for their hits “Handlebars” and “Me & U.” We are excited to welcome them for a unique performance where they will use music, conversation, and storytelling to discuss topics that are relevant to us all. With their engaging style and humor, Brer Rabbit (Brackett) and Jonny 5 (Laurie) will bring the audience along on a journey that explores the intersection of art and social movements.
RSVP to the Flobots!

More About the Artists
When Stephen Bracket and Jamie Laurie met in elementary school, they had no idea they were embarking on a 30-year friendship that would weave together social activism, non-profit leadership, and careers as professional rappers. Nor could they have anticipated how they would each have to navigate the complex web of invisible boundaries and minefields laid out for them—for all of us—by a fractured society fragmented by profound historical wounds and competing visions for the future.
