Two-part Event on Audre Lorde
Film Screening: The Edge of Each Other’s Battles: Vision of Audre Lorde? (Part 1)
Wed. April 13th (12:00 pm – 1:00 pm)
Poet, lover, mother, warrior–Audre Lorde was a fiercely passionate American visionary. Her poetry and prose spoke to her deepest convictions–love and anger, civil rights and sexuality, family politics and glories of nature. She gave voice to a political generation and became a role model not only for Black women but for everyone who believes, as she did, that “liberation is not the private province of any one particular group.”
BCC Book Club: Sister Outsider: Essays and Speeches (Part 2)
Wed. April 13th (5:30-6:30pm)
Lorde asserts the necessity of communicating the experience of marginalized groups in order to make their struggles visible in a repressive society. She emphasizes the need for different groups of people (particularly white women and African-American women) to find common ground in their lived experience. Discussion facilitated by Dr. Phillis Sheppard.
