LIVING THE LEGACY OF ATTICA & GEORGE JACKSON


This September marks the 40th anniversary of the Attica Rebellion & George Jackson's assassination.

What is relevant about struggles happening inside prison walls for movements for self-determination outside prison walls today?

What is the role of cultural work in connecting these struggles?

Join us for a night of art & politics as we discuss how a new generation of cultural workers use the legacy of these two formative moments in movement history to further multiracial struggles for self-determination today.

Melanie Cervantes (Dignidad Rebelde)
Kiwi Illafonte (BAYAN USA)
Maisha Quint (EastSide Arts Alliance)
Eugene Thomas (imprisoned organizer, Autry State Prison, GA)
