First Strike: Schools and Prisons<br />
in Los Angeles<br />
NEW!<br />
Taking an insider’s perspective, Dr. Sojoyner’s<br />
lecture examines the root causes<br />
of California’s ever-expansive prison<br />
system and disastrous educational policy.<br />
It critiques the trope of the “school-toprison<br />
pipeline,” exploring the realm of<br />
public school as a form of “enclosure”<br />
that has influenced the schooling (and<br />
denial of schooling) and imprisonment of<br />
Black people in California.<br />

Black Power, Black Lives Matter<br />
and the Politics of Social Movements<br />
NEW!<br />
This presentation will explore the link between direct action protest<br />
and the enactment of public policy that protect African Americans’<br />
social, political and economic rights. In addition, it will examine the<br />
significance of current social movements geared toward challenging<br />
old systems of oppression. It will start by looking at Civil Rights<br />
demonstrations to locate the historical significance of the Black<br />
Power movement. I will conclude by examining the Black Lives<br />
Matters movement as an extension of the Black radical tradition.<br />
