S E1293: In Class with Carr, Ep. 293: No Kings, New Maps

In this session, we explore acts of Cultural Meaning-Making and Movement and Memory as antidotes to fast-spreading poisons of disinformation and White nationalist distortion threatening African progress and the broader society. This week marks the birthdays of George Washington Williams, Lerone Bennett Jr. and Kerry James Marshall. We are reminded by their practice and genealogies of the power of nurturing imagination through reading and writing and empowering tools of proactive learning and community building. On the eve of the “No Kings” protests, arguments in the Supreme Court’s Louisiana v. Callais voting rights case and data in Onyx Impact’s new Blackout Report reveal how disinformation works to attempt to erase truth and representation, underscoring the urgency of creating spaces that nurture those indispensable elements of better Social Structures. These practices of cultural preservation and Black institutional empowerment demand renewed vigilance, truth-telling, and narrative restoration as acts of collective defense and cultural strategy.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.
