Protest Marches have been at the center of every movement for social change from Selma to Crown Heights to Ferguson, Missouri. Peaceful protests, which millions brought to life for the 8-hour workday, Civil, women's and gay rights, and against US aggression abroad and police brutality at home have helped to change laws, win reforms, and end wars.
But, what happens after the marching? It's easy to know what we're against, but what are we creating? What tools do we need to build an America and a world that works for everyone?
Join this revolutionary conversation with Lenora Fulani, Ph.D. and Alvaader Frazier, Esq., two women who have been demonstrating and marching for decades and who have also been providing leadership to building long-lasting organizations and activities that allow ordinary people to exercise on-going power and creativity after the march is over.
 Lenora Fulani, Ph.D., is co-founder of the
All Stars Project, where she currently serves as dean of
UX and director of
Operation Conversation: Cops and Kids, a series of workshops that uses performance to facilitate dialogues between New York City police and youth. She earned her Ph.D. in developmental psychology from the City University of New York and worked as a guest researcher at Rockefeller University, focusing on the interplay of social environment and learning, with a particular focus on the Black community. Dr. Fulani has long been active in creating change through political action. She has twice run for president as an independent. In l988 she became the first woman and first African American in U.S. history to appear as a presidential candidate on the ballot in all 50 states.
