A Debate Fundraiser for Leaders of A Beautiful Struggle: "Is Blackness History?"
Saturday Feb 11, 6PM @ 2640 (2640 St. Paul St.)
If you've been paying attention, you know that Leaders of a Beautiful Struggle is one of the smartest, most articulate collective voices on the streets of Baltimore City today. Uncompromisingly bringing a black liberation perspective to the problems faced by youth of color and the city as a whole, LBS has been formulating razor sharp policy tools, challenging the electoral status quo, and generally making exactly the kind of trouble Baltimore could use a lot more of.
So when LBS approached Red Emma's and 2640 about hosting a fundraiser to help them take their work to the next level, we were only too happy to agree; join us as we welcome LBS to 2640 for an evening of incisive debate, followed by a reception.
More info:
Leaders of a Beautiful Struggle (LBS) presents a public debate on the meaning of Black history and Black identity in a “post-racial” moment.
The debate will pit teams of 1 professor and 1 student from two local universities against each other. Lester Spence, Professor of Political Science, and Nicholas Brady, a recent graduate, will represent Johns Hopkins University. John Bullock, Professor of Political Science, and Fernando Kirkland, a recent graduate, will represent Towson University.
There will also be a chance for the audience to ask questions and participate in the discussion.
$5 suggested donation at the door, no one turned away for lack of funds; envelopes available for those who wish to donate more.
All proceeds go toward funding one of Baltimore’s premiere youth led political advocacy organizations.
