SUMMARY:Healing Black Chicago 101: DuSable to Harold Washington
DESCRIPTION:Join HAMOC and author Dr. Rhonda Sherrod for a conversation on her new book\, coming out this month. Q&A following the presentation. \nAbout this event\nDr. Rhonda Sherrod has written a compelling collection of beautiful essays addressing some of the understated pain in the Black community\, especially as it relates to women and girls. She documents her own childhood trauma history—that is shared by far too many Black women and girls—as well as traumas inflicted upon the Black community as a whole. \nHer book\, Surviving\, Healing\, and Evolving: Essays of Love\, Compassion\, Healing\, and Affirmation for Black People\, out this month includes the essay\, “Still Enchanted After All These Years” . This essay focuses on the history of Black Chicago—from DuSable to Harold Washington—and how Washington’s electrifying victory as the first Black mayor helped empower Barack Obama\, who was a community organizer in Chicago when Harold was mayor.

SUMMARY:Dr Knight Lecture Series: Haitian Immigration to America
DESCRIPTION:Join Dr. Knight in his lecture series for a conversation on Haitian Immigration to America.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBlack immigrants are often treated differently than those from other nations. Although this does not mean they are treated better\, but black immigrants face far more violence and racism – from local police\, ICE\, and the criminal justice system – than others. This lecture looks at Haitian immigrants in particular and the racial barrier they must navigate entering the United States.
