You Can't Be Neutral: White Anti-Racism Past and PresentWEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 7, 2020 :: 12:00-1:00 PM EDT
From the abolitionists to the Civil Rights Movement to so-called “color-blindness” to today’s uprisings, some "white people" have always joined Black and Brown people in the struggle for racial justice. Too few, often marginalized or drowned out by white supremacist voices, white anti-racists are increasing in number in 2020. Through this timely and important discussion, our panelists will explore: What does it mean to choose sides in the battle for racial equity historically and today? What kind of culture and values will help white anti-racist spaces and numbers grow? And how is liberation for all of us tied to Black Liberation?

For Beautiful Black Boys Who Believe in a Better World
Now Available!"Dad, what happened?" "Why are they shooting?" "What is this vigil for?"
The shootings keep coming, and so do Jeremiah's questions. Dad doesn't have easy answers, but that doesn't mean he won't talk about it -- or that he won't act. But what if Jeremiah doesn't want to talk anymore? None of it makes sense, and he's just a kid. Even if he wants to believe in a better world, is there anything he can do about it?
Inspired by real-life events, this honest, intimate look at one family's response to racism and gun violence includes a discussion guide created by the Muhammad Ali Center. A portion of the publisher's sales proceeds will be donated to nonprofit organizations that facilitate the empowerment of Black communities.
For Beautiful Black Boys Who Believe in a Better World is now available for purchase at the Ali Center Retail and Online Stores.

Truth Be Told: The Policies that Impacted Black LivesNow Open through April 18, 2021
| |
As the call for racial justice and equality in America is louder now than ever before, the Muhammad Ali Center has created an exhibition to educate and help others learn from the country’s past in order to foster a better future. Truth Be Told: The Policies that Impacted Black Lives is an exploration of those policies that are linked to systematic racism in America, from the early 1600s, up to present day. Truth Be Told offers visitors the opportunity to learn about the history of Black people in our country that is often left out of, misinterpreted, or even falsified in our history books. It is critical that the facts of our collective American history be told, so that the negative outcomes that these policies produced can be understood, recognized, and amended.
The exhibition features ten authentic boards that were used during the recent protests and marches in Louisville, Kentucky. These panels, originally used as barriers, have been repurposed as the platform on which we are sharing this important history.
Truth Be Told is sponsored by:
