Description

A discussion on the oppression and the liberation of Black hair in America. The story of race in America has always been more than skin deep. For centuries, Black Americans have been subject to the surpression of our rights, our narrative and our bodies. Many of us are aware of the color-coded persecution that has kept many relegated to a designated underclass but what about our hair? In this discussion, we will explore how Black hair in America has been a source of oppression as well as one of inspiration, self-expression an unity. Speakers: Amber N. Ford, Maria-Lynn Ogletree, Elaysia Parks, Jennifer Lumpkin and Brittany Benton ZOOM INFORMATION https://zoom.us/j/94274921807?pwd=YjhwWkwrYUhQM1k2MUk5Mjk4ZEhGdz09 Meeting ID: 942 7492 1807 Passcode: 682977 One tap mobile +13126266799,,94274921807# US (Chicago) +19292056099,,94274921807# US (New York) Dial by your location +1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago) +1 929 205 6099 US (New York) +1 301 715 8592 US (Washington DC) +1 346 248 7799 US (Houston) +1 669 900 6833 US (San Jose) +1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma) Meeting ID: 942 7492 1807 Find your local number: https://zoom.us/u/acAPtBV1v7
