Hello everyone,
The poster for Radical Historiographies has now been released with our moderators added to the schedule.
The poster has its roots in the Saturday, January 17, 1970 issue of The Black Panther Black Community News Service. On the cover of that issue, the periodical boldly proclaims, quoting Eldridge Cleaver, “The American Flag and the American Eagle are the true symbols of fascism” and protests the detention of political prisoners.

Presenter and organizing committee member Carrie Y. T. Kholi’s article “Because Someday Someone Should Ask, ‘Do You Remember Where You Were When Amiri Baraka Died?” on The Feminist Wire mourns the death of Amiri Baraka and tells more about her dissertation, “Running Out of Time: Radicalism, Resistance, and the Future of African American Literature.”
“Radical simply means ‘grasping things at the root.'” – Angela Davis, Let Us All Rise Together, address, Spelman College, 25 June 1987
