SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CMENAS MLK Day Event. Black-on-Black Solidarity: Falasteen between George Jackson and Kwame Ture (An Anti-Curator’s Talk)
DESCRIPTION:How do revolutionary movements of the past challenge today’s trending rhetorics of solidarity? Inspired by George Jackson in the Sun of Palestine (2015\, West Bank) and Sur les Traces du Black Panther: Kwame Ture/Stokely Carmichael (2018\, Guinea)\, this presentation examines the contrast between revolutionary solidarity grounded in praxis and the contemporary commodification of solidarity as mere rhetoric.\n   \n   Revisiting the revolutionary theories of George Jackson and Kwame Ture\, it reframes Black internationalism and Black-Palestinian solidarity while addressing the erasure of Black Palestinians. By moving beyond liberal and neoliberal co-optations\, the discussion highlights how historical commitments to solidarity can inform and inspire resistance today. Correspondence between Jackson and Fatma Bernawi further illuminates the revolutionary principles that continue to resonate.\n   \n   Greg Thomas\, a native of Southeast Washington\, D.C.\, teaches Black Studies and Literature at Tufts and Howard Universities. He is the author of The Sexual Demon of Colonial Power and Hip-Hop Revolution in the Flesh and co-editor of Word Hustle: Critical Essays on Donald Goines.\n   \n   As founding editor of PROUD FLESH: An e-Journal for the Critical Study of Black Culture\, Thomas has published extensively and guest-edited for CR: The New Centennial Review and Black Camera. Currently\, he is completing a book on George Jackson and curating exhibitions like George Jackson in the Sun of Palestine\, which debuted in the West Bank\, and A Black Panther Reawakens\, exploring revolutionary thought and activism.\n\nRSVP here: https://myumi.ch/pk46A
