Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Semester in Detroit

Note: This is the first class in a 4-part series. For more information on the series, please visit our website: tinyurl.com/wattstodetroit

The first class will frame the trajectory of our four-week course before moving on to address the impact of the Watts rebellion on state violence. It situates the Watts rebellion as a key turning point that led to increasingly militant Black activism as well as the militarization of police, expanded surveillance, and the promulgation of “copaganda” that built off of growing calls for “law and order” and reinforced and expanded hyper-policing and the criminalization Black urban communities, residents, and politics in the 60s, including in Detroit.

SPEAKERS:

- Facilitator: David Goldberg (Associate Professor of African American Studies at Wayne State University. His work deals with the intersection of Black labor, urban and social movement history, with a particular focus on Detroit (where he is from). He is currently writing a biography of General Baker and is on the board of the General Baker Institute.)
- Max Felkner-Kantor
- Baba Charles Simmons

What is Healing Justice?
According to Cara Page, Healing Justice is a framework that identifies how we can holistically respond to and intervene on generational trauma and violence and to bring collective practices that can impact and transform the consequences of oppression on our bodies, hearts and minds.

What is Cultural Organizing?

Cultural organizing places culture at the center of an organizing strategy. It can be done to unite people through the humanity of culture and the democracy of participation. This series explores the ways in which healing justice, creativity and arts enhance cultural organizing through a series of unique workshops led by Detroiters that are at the forefront of this movement. This type of creative organizing empowers communities to come together in celebration of culture while developing valuable skills that challenge power and oppression.

According to Cara Page, Healing Justice is a framework that identifies how we can holistically respond to and intervene on generational trauma and violence and to bring collective practices that can impact and transform the consequences of oppression on our bodies, hearts and minds.

What is Cultural Organizing?

Cultural organizing places culture at the center of an organizing strategy. It can be done to unite people through the humanity of culture and the democracy of participation. This series explores the ways in which healing justice, creativity and arts enhance cultural organizing through a series of unique workshops led by Detroiters that are at the forefront of this movement. This type of creative organizing empowers communities to come together in celebration of culture while developing valuable skills that challenge power and oppression.

Detroiters Speak Fall 2020: Policing Black Power - From Watts to Detroit (November 18, 2020 6:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/78834 78834-20131198@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, November 18, 2020 6:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Semester in Detroit

Note: This is the last class in a 4-part series. For more information on the series, please visit our website: tinyurl.com/wattstodetroit

The last session will recap the previous three courses before expanding our definition of state violence and violence beyond formal “policing.” Using local examples, our speakers will address how the elite elide democracy as a means to profit off of Black people while punitively blaming them for conditions externally imposed upon them. These containment and policing schemes endanger Black lives and futures, and force the poorest urban residents to subsidize the cost of welfare capitalism and gentrification.

SPEAKERS:

- Facilitator: David Goldberg
- Claire McClinton (Squeeky)
- Additional speakers TBA

Racism has been declared a public Health emergency, but this has been given little analytic content. "Structural racism and public health: A way forward?" takes up this challenge. Professor Peter Hammer explores the relationship between spatial-structural racism and the social and economic determinants of health. Water shutoffs in Detroit are taken as a case study. Monica Lewis Patrick, Dr. Nadia Gaber and Dr. Emily Kutil lift up the work of the We The People of Detroit Community Research Collaborative. They will discuss the geography of water shutoffs in Detroit, including new research about how shutoffs have shaped the COVID-19 pandemic. Martina Guzman, the Damon J. Keith Civil Rights Center Racial Equity Media Fellow provides a global perspective juxtaposing water shutoffs in Detroit and South Africa.

Organized By: Semester in Detroit

"Pandemic Politics: From Lockdown to Liberation” is a Detroit community-based course that welcomes participation by the general public, including college students from both U-M and Wayne State University. The class is hosted and developed by a partnership among: the General Baker Institute (a non-profit community-based organization located in NW Detroit) faculty in the U-M Semester in Detroit Program, and faculty from the Wayne State University Department of African-American Studies and the Damon Keith Center for Civil Rights. This class is made possible with generous support provided by the Michigan-Mellon Project on the Egalitarian Metropolis, College of LSA & A. Alfred Taubman College of. Architecture and Urban Planning.
The minicourse will explore contemporary and historical intersections between public health and structural racism - both in Detroit and throughout U.S. society more broadly. Each week, we will be joined by Detroit activist-scholars who will help everyone more deeply understand what is happening today in Detroit and in our country more broadly.

In addition to the class content described above, U-M students who register for the 1-credit mini-course will also have the opportunity to meet and to learn from some of the veteran Detroit activists who are building the General Baker Institute (GBI). The organization recently opened its new community center in NW Detroit to honor the legacy of General Gordon Baker Jr., one of the most important labor and community activists in modern Detroit history.
