“When I dare to be powerful—to use my strength in the service of my vision—then it becomes less and less important whether I am afraid.” —Audre Lorde
How do we make meaning and find the courage to move through the reality of the COVID-19 global pandemic that has infected millions of people and caused the death of over 500,000 people worldwide? What lessons are emerging from the movement for Black Lives, sparked by the death of George Floyd, bringing thousands of protestors out into the streets in many cities throughout the US, as well as the UK, Japan, Ireland, South Korea, and Australia? Why did it take so long to extend the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to gay, lesbian, and transgender workers when the Stonewall Uprising occurred in 1969? In what ways do these questions inform each other?
Reclaiming the Dream: The Unfinished Business of Queer Liberation and the Movement for Black Lives is a virtual community dialogue to provide voice to the current moment and vision for the future. Join veteran activist and journalist Ann Northrop; multi-dimensional artist Cypha; photographer Lola Flash, whose work often focuses on social, LGBT, and feminist issues; and organizer, activist, and Reclaim Pride Coalition co-founder Jay W. Walker for an in-depth and thoughtful conversation moderated by Howl's Education Director Katherine Cheairs.
