Imagining Freedom: A Virtual Discussion

Показать описание
Incarceration denies millions of people full participation in American society—and, in turn, American society is denied their artistic, cultural, and intellectual contributions. Imagining Freedom, an initiative of the Mellon Foundation, aims to mend and make visible that loss.
On February 23, 2023, Dr. Elizabeth Alexander, president of Mellon Foundation was joined by renowned activists, scholars, and educators Angela Y. Davis and Gina Dent; Pulitzer Prize-winning writer and professor Mitchell S. Jackson; and artist and curator Jesse Krimes to explore intellectual and imaginative communities that transcend the experience of incarceration.
Stay tuned at the end of the conversation to hear “Tell ‘Em the Truth” from the album FREEDOM FIRST by Keith LaMar and Albert Marquès, the first album in history by an artist on death row.
