Description

The Magical Black Tears Experience is an interactive exhibition based on the children’s picture book Magical Black Tears: A Protest Story by Decoteau J. Irby. The exhibition teaches children ages 4-12 about direct action as a vehicle for creating a more just society for Black people. The exhibit allows visitors to watch films, read, write, create, pretend-play, and problem-solve in a fun setting that shows how everyday people take direct action to make the world free from racism. Your attendance at this pilot exhibition will support its message of how direct action and protest create a more racially just world. This event will feature local Milwaukee poets, Aphryx Ashé The Legend and Rhoan Garnett. There will be time for poets to share their work and discuss how poetry is a tool to challenge racial injustice. So come out and enjoy this event!
