Time: 3:00 – 3:45 PM
Location: The City of Decatur Stage 1 in the Decatur B Ballroom of the Marriott Courtyard Hotel, 130 Clairemont Avenue, Decatur, GA, 30030
A love letter to those who have been minimized and forgotten through a collection of essays that reposition Black women’s intellectual and political work at the center of today’s liberation movements. A vital and galvanizing history of abortion and how its stigma is intrinsically connected to racism and systemic oppression, told from the viewpoint of people of color.
For a new generation of movement organizers and Black feminists, authors Jenn M. Jackson, Renee Bracey Sherman and Regina Mahone speak on how written perspectives shape the ongoing debate around reproductive freedom, Black feminism and how readers of all backgrounds can activate to create a more just world for everyone.
The panel discussion will be held Saturday, October 5th at 3:00 PM on the City of Decatur Stage 1 in the Decatur B Ballroom of the Marriott Courtyard Hotel. Following the panel, authors will proceed to signing tables to autograph books.
