Amir Gilmore to presenting today on Black Boy Joy

Amir Gilmore, a faculty member in Cultural Studies and Social Thought in Education, will speak on Black Boy Joy as part of the Common Reading faculty lecture series, Thursday, October 22, at 4:30 p.m. Black Boy Joy is a social and spiritual practice of refusing systems of whiteness and white supremacy in order to create spaces of affirmation where Black males are felt, heard, seen, and matter. The practice reclaims Black stories, voices, and identities through the arts and humanities and provides the possibility to live unbounded lives.
