/The word “racism” is everywhere. It’s used to explain all the things 
that cause African-Americans’ suffering and death: inadequate access to 
health care, food, housing and jobs, or a police bullet, baton or knee. 
But “racism” fails to fully capture what black people in this country 
are facing.

The right term is “anti-blackness.” . . .

Anti-blackness is one way some black scholars have articulated what it 
means to be marked as black in an anti-black world. It’s more than just 
“racism against black people.” That oversimplifies and defangs it. It’s 
a theoretical framework that illuminates society’s inability to 
recognize our humanity — the disdain, disregard and disgust for our 
existence./

*Webinar: “A Conversation on Tulsa and the Long History of Dispossession 
of African Americans: What We Don’t Know”* 
<https://charleshamiltonhouston.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=ccb9414b9b5a2c3c56a68591f&id=c295ee91b1&e=3bf35d12fe>
*Thursday, June 18 at 6:00 PM EDT*

This two-hour webinar event will begin with an introduction by athlete 
and activist Malcolm Jenkins on his developing documentary project on 
Tulsa, and how learning about the massacre has affected his view of 
racism today. An interdisciplinary panel of four prominent academics 
will link the legacy of Tulsa to the systemic racism that African 
Americans still face. Local Tulsa activists will share their call for 
reparations, and finally a session with athletes will look at how they 
can use their platform to make little known history more visible.

Building a Movement : A Virtual Town Hall with Minneapolis Organizers

*Thursday, June 18 at 5:00 PM EDT*

Join Race Forward, the largest multiracial racial justice organization, 
in solidarity with the Black and brown leaders and folks in Minneapolis, 
who have been organizing for and with the Black Lives Matter movement 
for years. It is their organizing that has brought to the fore the 
abolitionist strategy of defunding police. It is their organizing that 
has moved educational institutions and corporations in Minneapolis, and 
now across the country, to publicly declare their divestment from 
police. In this Town Hall, long-time Minneapolis organizers will tell 
the story of what’s been happening on the ground themselves.

Join this urgent forum that will highlight the case for H.R. 40 and the 
path forward. H.R. 40 would establish a commission to examine the 
institution of slavery, its legacy, and make recommendations to Congress 
for reparations, beginning a process of repairing and restoring after 
centuries of enslavement, violent repression and exploitation under Jim 
Crow laws, black codes in the South, and de facto segregation across the 
nation — long after Juneteenth.

Saturday, June 20 at 10:00 AM CT*

With the largest protest movement against police violence this country 
has seen, this Scholars for Social Justice webinar will examine the 
roots of the demand to defund police by focusing on the relationship of 
police to universities and the often problematic and racist relationship 
of many colleges and universities to Black and marginalized communities.

Moderated by:
- Adom Getachew, University of Chicago

With Panelists:
- Michelle Yang and Kosi Achife, UChicago #CareNotCops Student Activists
- Robin D. G. Kelley, University of California-Los Angeles
- Barbara Ransby, University of Illinois at Chicago
- Davarian Baldwin, Trinity College

This webinar is co-sponsored by R3 Coalition, BYP100 and is a part of

but we seem to be here again. Rayshard Brooks slept in his car in a 
Wendy's parking lot and was awakened to officers and shortly after was 
shot twice in his back as he ran away. Juneteenth is supposed to be a 
celebration of freedom but Black people in this country are experiencing 
modern day lynching at the hands of police officers. Join Violence In 
Boston Inc. & Black Lives Matter Boston as we march from the Reggie

Charlie Baker allocate adequate finding away from police and towards 
social justice and violence prevention.

*Families for Justice as Healing (FJAH) demands systemic change to 
policing in Boston, toward the long-term goal of removing police from 
our communities. Police are the first point of contact with the criminal 
legal system for FJAH members, and the reason women and their family 
members wind up on jail and prison bunks. While organizing against the 
most harmful policing practices and fighting to shift resources from 
policing into communities, FJAH is also doing the work to create ways of 
preventing, responding to, and healing from harm without police and 
prisons. Sign their petition to make concrete systems change to policing 
in Boston.
