BPL Presents lectures and discussions Til Victory Is Won

The phrase, drawn from Toni Morrison's Beloved, refers to the need for warriors to heal from endless battles against oppression. For activists today, how do you maintain our capacity for vulnerability and invention while combatting systemic injustice? Panelists include Sasha Alexander (Founder, Black Trans Media), Noel G. Altaha (Founder, Indigenous Womxns Collective), and Mildred Beltré (Cofounder, Brooklyn Hi-Art Machine). Moderated by Gabri Christa (dancer, choreographer, filmmaker).
