The Black Studies Department is inviting you to a “grounding session” on the catastrophe in Gaza, alongside other ongoing situations of death and displacement in places like Sudan and the Central African Republic. In 1969, the Caribbean scholar/activist Walter Rodney published the book The Groundings with My Brothers. He wrote: "Because that is Black Power, that is one of the elements, a sitting-down together to reason, to 'ground' as the brothers say. We have to 'ground together'" (p. 67). 

Let’s sit down to ground about a Black Studies praxis in the face of these various fronts of violence and suffering. Please join us.
