Cincinnati's one and only National Underground Railroad Freedom Center has all kinds of awesome events to help us celebrate Black History Month, but the event I am most looking forward to is the ART OF RESISTANCE forum!! Not just because my Facebook Friend Charles is putting it on...promise:-)

WHERE?
National Underground Railroad Freedom Center
50 East Freedom Way
Cincinnati, Ohio
WHY?
In his seminal essay “On Black Art”, Dr. Maulana Karenga writes that “Black Art must be for the people, by the people and from the people. That is to say, it must be functional, collective and committing…. All art must be revolutionary and in being revolutionary it must be collective, committing, and functional.” In this presentation the Freedom Center will invite local artists to engage and artistically respond to our Without Sanctuary Thematic Framework of Looking Back, Bearing Witness and Keeping Watch.
