Movements for Black Lives

From #BlackLivesMatter to the movements that are building Black focused schools, institutions, cultural spaces and media. This session will include activists and scholars connected to the edited volume, Until We Are Free: Reflections on Black Lives Matter in Canada. Together, the dynamics that underpin and surround Black led movements (past and present) will be considered and explored.
