NEW DATE: Thurs, March 11 at 4:30-5:30 pm on Zoom
This event is open to undergraduates, graduate students, and faculty.
Organizing Stories presents “Community Organizing 101,” a workshop with Trenton activist Darren “Freedom” Green. “Community Organizing 101” is sponsored in conjunction with the class “HUM 352, Arts in the Invisible City: Race, Policy, Performance” taught by Vance Smith and Nathan Davis. It is open to all undergraduates, graduate students, and faculty interested in the intersections between scholarly and activist work.
The third workshop in a year-long series features Darren “Freedom” Green, a longtime Trenton activist, public speaker, and former mayoral candidate. Green will lead a spirited workshop entitled “Community Organizing 101” about the ins-and-outs of local organizing and the integral role storytelling has played in his community outreach.
Organizing Stories is a student-driven project supported by the Humanities Council Exploratory Grant in the Humanities and founded and directed by Autumn M. Womack (English; African American Studies) and Monica Huerta (English; American Studies). The project investigates the long histories of anti-racist activism, racial justice organizing, and coalition-building as they relate to questions of narrative, storytelling, and humanistic study more broadly.
