The revolutionary power of Black joy
Speaker
About this talk
What exactly is Black joy? It's the "indescribable joy that comes from being able to live and thrive despite all the obstacles and barriers of living in anti-Blackness," says community organizer and queer activist Miracle Jones. "Part of it is a hope that things will soon get better and part of it is a celebration of still being here." And she explains why this sense of pride and hope is another crucial component of the racial justice movement.
