12:30p-1:30p: “ECHAO P’ALANTE” – Working towards an inclusive & intersectional understanding of the US Civil Rights Movement (Room 9208)
The Civil Rights Movement did not just start in 1954 and end in 1964. Our primary school education, history books, and associated media have in many ways collapsed and limited our understanding of the US Civil Rights Movement by esteeming certain types of action and actors while vilifying others, often at the expense of the collaborative movements that many have worked so hard to build. This workshop will draw on a variety of media in order to highlight multiple forms of resistance and sustained struggle against oppression culminating in all of the participants working together to build an inclusive and intersectional timeline of the Civil Rights Movement.
