SUMMARY:Changing Academia Forever: Black Student Leaders Analyze the Movement They Led
DESCRIPTION:The most effective and long-lasting student strike in U.S. history took place at San Francisco State College in 1968. The first Black Student Union\, the first Black Studies Department\, the only College of Ethnic Studies\, and the admission of thousands of students of color resulted from this four-and-a-half-month strike which shut down 80% of the campus. It has been called the movement which “changed academia forever.” \nJoin Kitty Kelly Epstein and Bernard Stringer\, co-authors of Changing Academia Forever: Black Student Leaders Analyze the Movement They Led (Myers Education Press\, 2020)\, in a virtual Meet the Authors program to learn about the historic strike and its insights for today’s mass movements. \nThis event is being co-sponsored by the African American Museum & Library at Oakland and Holy Names University.

SUMMARY:Juan Felipe Herrera & Naomi Shihab Nye: Every Day We're More Illegal
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, Sept 29\, 7-9pm Pacific time \nKPFA Radio 94.1 FM with City Lights Books presents a webinar \nJuan Felipe Herrera & Naomi Shihab Nye\nEvery Day We’re More Illegal\nwith Sabrina Jacobs \nAfter two years on the road as United States Poet Laureate\, Juan Felipe Herrera reports back on his travels through contemporary America. Poems written in the heat of witness\, and later\, in quiet moments of reflection\, here coalesce into an urgent yet hope-filled portrait. The struggle and pain of those pushed to the edges\, the wild injustice of our streets\, the lethal border game that separates and divides\, and then a shift – a leap for peace and a view into the possibility of unity. Every Day We Get More Illegal is a jolt to the collective conscience\, a jolt filled with the many voices of everyday life in America. \nAnother of the most colorful\, cherished and charismatic voices in America is that of Naomi Shihab Nye\, a poet\, songwriter\, and novelist. She will read some of her own work and talk with her friend Juan Felipe on the theme – Every Day We Get More Illegal. Born to a Palestinian father and an American mother\, Naomi composed her first poem when was six years old. She has since published or contributed to over thirty books\, including poetry\, young-adult fiction\, anthologies\, and novels. Among her books are Habibi\, 19 Varieties of Gazelle\, Red Suitcase\, Fuel\, and A Maze Me. \nJuan Felipe Herrera\, in addition to being a poet\, is a performer\, writer\, cartoonist\, teacher and activist. His twenty-plus books include The Upside Down Book\, Thunderweavers\, Notes on the Assemblage\, 187 Reasons Mexicanos Can’t Cross the Border: Undocuments 1971-2007\, and Half the World in Light. He is known for his often-bilingual and autobiographical poems on immigration\, Chicano identity\, and life in California. Herrera was born to migrant farmworkers in southern California and spent his early youth on the move\, living in tents and trailers in small farming towns throughout the San Joaquin Valley. \nSuggested Donation $5-$20. \nPresented by KPFA Radio 94.1 FM.
