Offering Description
Join BTP for this pre-event community building engagement with Black teachers and educators at Children of the Movement: Growing up with Parents in the Black Panther Party. Meetup participants will convene an hour before the main event in one of the Center for Brooklyn History classrooms to break bread and reflect in a Black educator affinity space.
Read the full Children of the Movement: Growing up with Parents in the Black Panther Party event description here. At 6:30, we will transition as a group to attend the main event. We recommend reading the Guardian article, Radical Change Isn’t Free and/or watching the short documentary, When the Revolution Doesn’t Come to prepare for the meetup and event.
What You Can Expect:
- Participants will have an opportunity to network with Black teachers and educators in the area, learning with and from others.
- Participants will engage in a lightly-facilitated discussion before the main event to make connections between their roles as Black educators and the tenets and legacy of the Black Panther Party.
- Participants will walk away nourished spiritually from the power of Black history, Black joy, and Black futures.
