Resistance to state violence has been a constant of Black life in America. At its best, this resistance has been intergenerational and transnational. This conversation will gather activists across generations to discuss the importance of continued resistance to state violence and why it benefits us all.

About the Kehinde Wiley Speaker Series

This event is part of the Kehinde Wiley Speaker Series, developed in collaboration with Pastor Mike McBride and Sherrie Deans of Live Free USA. This six-part series brings together some of the biggest names in culture, art, sports, and activism. Through panels, performances, and collective healing practices, this series offers a platform to those most impacted by state-sanctioned violence and offers a constructive framework for understanding the intersections of art, suffering, and healing.
