About this event
Back by popular demand, this will be a repeat of the program viewed on the cusp of the new Massachusetts state and national holiday (June 2021). Dr. Amilcar Shabazz will be back and available to engage with the audience in a conversation about its meaning and significance, give us updates, and to answer questions.
Dr. Shabazz is W.E.B. DuBois Professor of Afro-American Studies at the University of Massachusetts. His research includes Global Black Studies and his books include The Forty Acres Documents, one of the earliest scholarly works in the modern movement for reparations for people of African descent in the U.S.A. He is currently working on a revised and expanded edition, Juneteenth: The History of a Day. Dr. Shabazz is the immediate past president of The National Council for Black Studies, the premier organization of Africana Studies professionals in the world.
