Join us for an intimate pre-reading discussion in advance of our Annual Public Lecture featuring Robin D. G. Kelley. This session will center on Kelley’s powerful essay reflecting on the Minneapolis uprisings following the murder of Renee Goods, examining grief, protest, memory, and the long arc of racial justice struggles. Together, we’ll read, reflect, and engage in guided conversation to deepen our understanding of the political, historical, and emotional stakes of the moment — and to prepare for the broader themes that will be explored during the May public lecture. No prior expertise required; curiosity and thoughtful engagement are encouraged.
