BLACK AUGUST SERIES

Rev. Dr. Tom Boomershine has been on the Board of The Center and Library for the Bible and Social Justice (CLBSJ) from its start. Every August they feature black scholars in a lecture series described above.

“Black August” is a pan-African and internationalist tradition that recognizes the month of August as a living testament of the depth of commitment to transformation and liberation within Black communities around the world. From the beginning of the Haitian Revolution to the Nat Turner Rebellion; from the Fugitive Slave Law Convention and the foundation of the Underground Railroad to the March on Washington; from the births of Marcus Garvey, Russell Maroon Shoatz, and Fred Hampton to the deaths of Emmett Till, W.E.B du Bois and Michael Brown — August bursts at the seams with histories of Black resistance. Because of this, organizers have claimed it as a month to deepen understanding of and commitment to the practices that lead us to liberation. CLBSJ is honored to unite with this tradition.

You can register for any or all of the sessions here. The cost is chosen by you based on your ability to pay, from $0.00 to $100.00.
