As lawyers and advocates who are accountable to the intergenerational Black freedom struggle, the Center for Constitutional Rights has for Black people to reject the inhumanity of human hierarchy, express love-fueled fury, and demand fundamental change. The state and its institutions, viewing Black freedom as a threat to the status quo of white supremacy, have used violence, incarceration, surveillance, and systemic abandonment in an attempt to suppress Black rage and any alternative vision of a world repaired.

Join the Center of Constitutional Rights on Monday February 28, 2022, at 5 p.m. ET for our keynote 2022 Black History Month event, “For the Love of Rage: The Power of Rage in Pursuit of Black Liberation.” 

Center for Constitutional Rights Board Members, representatives from the Dream Defenders, and community healers will have a special conversation sourcing Black rage as an expression of love for the community’s past, present, and future.

Speakers:

Colette Pichon Battle, Executive Director of the Gulf Coast Center for Law & Policy (GCCLP)
Tanisha “Wakumi” Douglas, MSW, Founding Executive Director, Senior Trainer of S.O.U.L Sisters Leadership Collective
Dr. Armen Henderson, Director of Health Programs, Dream Defenders  

Moderated by Vince Warren, Executive Director, Center for Constitutional Rights

ASL translation and speech to text transcription will be provided for this event.
