Pullen Summer Book Club: August 25 at 12:15 pm in 203

Join Rev. Ian and Maggie Ziellmann, Chair of Pullen’s Anti-Racism Congregation Committee following worship on Sunday, August 25 for a discussion of Freedom is a Constant Struggle: Ferguson, Palestine, and the Foundations of a Movement by Angela Davis. Bring your own lunch as we study together.

In these collected essays, interviews, and speeches, world-renowned activist and scholar Angela Y. Davis illuminates the connections between struggles against state violence and oppression throughout history and around the world. Reflecting on the importance of black feminism, intersectionality, and prison abolitionism for today’s struggles, Davis discusses the legacies of previous liberation struggles, from the Black Freedom Movement to the South African anti-Apartheid movement. She highlights connections and analyzes today’s struggles against state terror, from Ferguson to Palestine. Facing a world of outrageous injustice, Davis challenges us to imagine and build the movement for human liberation. And in doing so, she reminds us that "Freedom is a constant struggle."
