All of Us or None: Organizing for Powerful, Liberated, and Beloved Communities

In this talk, Charlene Carruthers will draw upon the Black radical tradition as seen in Dr. King's political evolution, the organizers who shaped his leadership, and the lessons she's learned over the past 15 years of radical Black feminist activism and community organizing. Through historical reflection and analysis of current movements (local and global), this talk will explore efforts to build political power and the "beloved community" Dr. King spoke of through a radical, abolitionist, Black queer feminist approach.
