AAPF & ASALH'S THIRD NATIONAL CONVENING: Beyond Dog Whistles: How Anti-Blackness is Destroying Our Democracy And What We Must Do to Resist
Our residency on Martha’s Vineyard begins on Sunday! In addition to our Monday panel, AAPF is partnering on Sunday with the Association for the Study of African American Life and History (ASALH) for their timely third national convening also at the historic Union Chapel. In the current environment of racial backlash and the slide into autocracy, disparities impacting Black Americans are being ignored, while Black excellence is being erased from our workplaces, museums, and history books. No longer cloaked with dog whistles, this assault is happening in plain sight, endangering our health, eliminating our jobs, banning our books, defaming our knowledge, and gutting our civil rights infrastructure. Despite the scale of this attack, the response remains muted—even within our own communities. What must we do to sound the alarm and ensure that others hear it? Join Kimberlé Crenshaw with ASALH President Kaye Wise Whitehead, President & CEO National Coalition on Black Civic Participation (NCBCP), and Convener of Black Women’s Roundtable Melanie Campbell (and special guests) for a sober assessment of how far we’ve devolved since the racial reckoning of 2020 and, more critically, where we must go from here.
