Black Lives Matter:
Origins, the Present
and the Future

Monday’s OccupyForum will explore the Black Lives Matter movement: its origins, what is happening right now, and where it is headed.
We hope to have a number of speakers who have been involved in the recent outpouring of involvement as well as Gerald Smith, a longtime scholar of Black History
and Black Culture. If you have been involved in recent actions or other aspects of the movement, please come to contribute your perspective.

Gerald Smith is a former Black Panther Party member with the New York City chapter. He been active with the Longshoremens Worker's Union
for many years and was a dedicated participant in their actions to end apartheid in South Africa. Three years ago Gerald was a co-founder of The Oscar Grant Committee,
who along with 25 other members, investigate cases of Police Brutality. When suspicious incidents occur or evidence presents itself the committee
takes action and becomes a support group for the families and friends of victims of Police abuse.
Gerald has been involved with the Black Lives Matter movement
in Oakland and Ferguson.
