Join us on May 26th for a live Q&A with Award-Winning filmmaker Grace Lee. All registrants will receive access to her Peabody Winning film AMERICAN REVOLUTIONARY: THE EVOLUTION OF GRACE LEE BOGGS prior to the live Q&A.
Producer/Director, Grace Lee is a nationally sought out speaker and guest lecturer on the Asian American experience, women and politics, and documentary film.
Synopsis:
What does it mean to be an AMERICAN REVOLUTIONARY today? Grace Lee Boggs, a Chinese American woman in Detroit, who died in October 2015 at 100 years old, has a surprising vision of revolution. A writer, activist, and philosopher rooted for more than 70 years in the African American movement, she devoted her life to an evolving revolution that encompassed the contradictions of America’s past and its potentially radical future. This Peabody Award-winning documentary plunges us into Boggs’ lifelong practice of igniting community dialogue and action, work that traverses the major U.S. social movements of the last century: from labor to civil rights, to Black Power, feminism, the Asian American and environmental justice movements and beyond.
PLEASE NOTE: After registering you will receive a private screening link to watch the film on your own time prior to the live Q&A on May 26th.
