DESCRIPTION:This event will be a vibrant cross-generational dialogue about community 
 activism and the collective effort to create social change. Despite the 
 separation of time and space, the Civil Rights, Black Power and Black Lives 
 Matter movements share the same common goal of ending police brutality, 
 criminal and economic injustice and other forms of state violence and 
 social inequality for black people. Despite generational differences, 
 members of these movements are interconnected by the trauma and challenges 
 of being black in the USA and their common goals. \n\nThe discussion will 
 address the vacuum that was created after the FBI-fueled demise of the 
 black power movement, the birth of gangs within communities of color, and 
 the Black Lives Matter movement of today.\n\nThis is a special opportunity 
 for people of all ages to come together to speak and listen to one another; 
 to seize the experience and wisdom of the movers and shakers of yesterday, 
 while building on the experiences and energy of the younger movers and 
 shakers of today. Ultimately, community dialogues like this will strengthen 
 the Black Lives Matter movement and the resistant movements of tomorrow. 
 \n\nThe discussion will be facilitated by four panelists representing three 
 different eras, who will briefly share their own stories. The panel will 
 include Watani Stiner, a former political prisoner and Cointelpro survivor 
 who represents the Black Power era in the 60's, and Troy Williams, a 
 formerly incarcerated ex-gang member. \n
