Upcoming Event: IG Live with Brea Baker, Author of ROOTED
Promotional flier for forthcoming IG Live with Brea Baker.
Join us for an upcoming IG Live with Brea Baker, author of Rooted: The American Legacy of Land Theft & The Modern Movement for Black Land Ownership (One World, 2024).
On Thursday, April 25th at 6:30 PM ET, join us for an IG Live (@blackwomenradicals) with freedom fighter and writer, Brea Baker! Working on the frontlines for almost a decade, first as a student activist and now as a national and global strategist, Baker is the author of the forthcoming book, Rooted: The American Legacy of Land Theft & The Modern Movement for Black Land Ownership (One World, 2024). Rooted delves into one of the nation’s first sins: stealing and hoarding the land. During the conversation, we will discuss Baker’s impetus to writing Rooted; why land rights and reparations are tethered to racial justice; why abolitionist Black feminist praxis is a mandate; and more.
