Friday Community Wellness Chat Activism Then and Now, Sustaining a Lifetime of Organizing: May 4 and May 15 mark the 50th anniversary of the Kent State and Jackson State Massacres. Campuses in the US were on fire protesting the Vietnam War and a host of other social injustices. Today, students are still in the forefront of social movements in the US. Join us for a conversation with veteran Civil Rights activist Sofia Bracy Harris, who integrated the Birmingham public schools and whose home was firebombed in 1966, and student leaders of Nevada. They will talk about what got them started, what fuels their fire to sustain a lifetime of political engagement, how they balance organizing with the rest of their lives, and the extent to which activism or organizing has affected their health.
