Join us to celebrate the release of How We Stay Free: Notes on a Black Uprising, a collection of reflections and testimonies, prose and poetry, from those on the frontlines of the protests in the city of Philadelphia following the murder of George Floyd, and the Black organizers that led, sustained, and nurtured the movement for abolition. The book is edited by Fajr Muhammad, a writer and editor in Philadelphia, and Christopher Rogers, Program Director for the Paul Robeson House & Museum.
They will be joined by Jessica Gordon-Nembhard, Ph.D., Professor of Community Justice and Social Economic Development, at the City University of NY. Dr. Gordon-Nembhard is a political economist, and author of Collective Courage: A History of African American Cooperative Economic Thought and Practice (2014). They will also be joined by Charlyn Griffith, an interdisciplinary artist, social scientist, and cultural worker, and Jena Harris, the cofounder of the West Philly Bunny Hop.
