Atima Omara will discuss her forthcoming book, The Instigators: How Black Women Have Been Essential to American Democracy (And What We Can Learn From Them), which examines how we can build a truly inclusive multi-racial democracy. Laying out little known history, research, and data, Atima argues that no such future can be discussed or strategized within movements or political parties without Black women. She also examines how Black women have responded to failed strategic political decisions by political and movement leaders as context for the present moment. Register here.
