“have we become so familiar that we have memorized the Great Lie”
“If we realized the diversity of Black people and their experiences, but didn’t practice radical empathy with them — lo dayenu.”
“What we witness is bound upon our hearts.”
In memory of George Floyd and thousands more since 1619
When do we lament? / I looked through all my poetry / To find one to share / As a new retelling of / Our communal lament
“Stand for Love / Start right now”
“We understand that Black lives are sacred”
“Who shall die while begging for their life, their breath”
“Protest is a sacred act”
“We must speak the names, we must speak out”
In this immersion, we will reflect and expand on our personal experiences of identity, using writing exercises and in-depth discussions to think about, challenge, discover, explore, and experiment with different ways to identify ourselves, to consider how those ways connect us to and separate us from others, and how they represent and misrepresent aspects of who we are.
Four sessions, starting June 15th
