UHURU: Black Liberation Lab - 
Every Tuesday in February 5:30-8pm at the Design Studio for Social Intervention

This year's Black History Month series will be a creative action lab to explore the components of a deep fight for collective Black liberation. The past 6-weeks have been marked by intense protests, actions, and symbolic resistance to state power from youth, activists, allies, and Black people throughout Boston and the nation. Uhuru: Black Liberation Lab will provide Boston's Black activists/leadership (and their allies) the opportunity to dream, brainstorm, and vision around what is next in terms of action and longer strategy. 

Over the course of the month, Uhuru: Black Liberation Lab will build upon itself using the insights, leadership, and capacity of the people in the room. 

Uhuru will change and evolve each week, so come join us in making it happen.
