Wednesday October 28th, 7:30pm
People’s Books Co-op, 2122 E. Locust St

Jeffrey B. Perry is an independent working class scholar formally educated at Princeton, Harvard, Rutgers, and Columbia. His work focuses on the role of white supremacy as a retardant to social change and on the centrality of struggle against white supremacy to social change. Perry’s most recent book “Hubert Harrison: The Voice of Harlem Radicalism, 1883-1918” chronicles one of the most influential voices for democracy and freedom that stirred the masses in Harlem at a time when Black radical thought centered on a new race-consciousness.

Hubert Harrison was an immensely skilled writer, orator, educator, critic, and political activist who, more than any other political leader of his era, combined class consciousness and anti-white-supremacist race consciousness into a coherent political radicalism.

At our last session we watched "Traces of the Trade," a powerful movie on the journey a white family took to see their family's role in the slave trade and their subsequent responsibilities. This session builds on ways that we can give to our communities to repair harm. It will focus on understanding our relationship with money and ways to become more abundant so that we have more to give to make our community a better place. If you missed the movie, it will be shown again this Sunday, location TBA.

Preparation Work: Carry a $100 bill in your pocket for a week. Think about how that makes you feel, what you do the same or different and how it impacts your life.

To Bring: Journal, pen, a treasured object that symbolizes abundance for you, a friend (or three)

We hope to see you next Thursday! Please spread widely.

peace.
