The New Black Fest - Kick Off Panel

4/4/2017

 

Black Sustainability in the Era of You Know Who

I attended the Kick-Off Panel for The New Black Fest last night and it was amazing! The topic was Black Sustainability in the Era of You Know Who. (I refuse.) I didn't plan on live tweeting the event but these were some powerful people with important things to say that weren't easy to hear. I couldn't type fast enough. You can check out the event under #TNBF17, but here are a few of my favorite tweets!

'Historically, the role of gov't for white folks is to leave them alone. For Black folks its to get white folks to leave us alone.' #TNBF17

We have to be much more nuanced with how we deal with immigration. It's been framed as not a Black issue, but it is. #tnbf17

'The question is, what does the third Reconstruction look like and are you willing to fight for it?' #BlackSustainability #tnbf17
