S E1286: In Class with Carr, Ep. 286: Labors of Love!

In the US Social Structure, Labor Day weekend is both a ritual of Summer’s ending and a potential lens for examining how labor, Cultural Meaning-Making and love in Africana Ways of Knowing fuel the Momentum of Movement and Memory. In the rituals of this season, from the Annual West Indian American Labor Day Parade to anniversaries of the 1963 March on Washington and the 1955 murder of Emmett Louis Till which prompted the March’s August 28 date, Africana Studies opens a window for us to think how celebration intertwines with struggle. Africana Ways of Knowing commingle the work of justice and memory, prompting us to also consider how and where we spend our labor and what we owe to past and future generations. True “labors of love” emerge in lives and communities that choose self-governance and self-determination over blind compliance with oppression and that resist exploitation and affirm human dignity across time and space.JOIN KNARRATIVE: https://www.knarrative.com it's the only way to get into #Knubia, where these classes areheld live with a live chat.To shop Go to:TheGlobalMajorityMore from us:Knarrative Twitter: https://twitter.com/knarrative_Knarrative Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/knarrative/In Class with Carr Twitter: https://twitter.com/inclasswithcarrSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
