From Frederick Douglass and the abolitionists of the 19th century to James Baldwin, the power of the written word has always played a critical role in the pursuit of social progress. Inspired by the exhibition, Fighters for Freedom: William H. Johnson Picturing Justice, and in partnership with local, woman-owned bookstore Itinerate Literate, we’ll discuss the historical influence of written discourse on social justice movements.

This event with not be held at the Gibbes Museum, but in Park Circle at a city-owned gallery across from Itinerant Literate book store, 4820 Jenkins Avenue.
