Reflection on the life and legacy of Grace Lee Boggs:

Fulfilling our roles in the fight for justice today

Taking inspiration from the work, life, and legacy of Grace Lee Boggs, the School of Social Work and the Multicultural and Gender Affairs Committee will host a workshop and panel discussion on the future of activism and allyhood in the 21st century, including our place as “solutionaries” in movement building.
Grace Lee Boggs (1915-2015) is an activist, writer, and speaker whose seven decades of political involvement encompass the major U.S. social movements of the past hundred years.

A panel comprised of Steven Ward, historian and Grace Lee Boggs biographer, School of Social Work student, Raina LaGrand, activist Jim Toy, and other panelists will reflect upon the legacy of Grace Lee Boggs. Following the panel , we will use these reflections to engage in small group dialogue about our work in the fight for justice today.
