Patrisse Khan-Cullors in conversation with Charlene Carruthers

  • Wilson Abbey 935 West Wilson Avenue Chicago, IL, 60640 United States (map)

We're honored to host Patrisse Khan-Cullors in conversation with Charlene Carruthers. This event will include a reading, conversation, Q&A, and book-signing. 

From one of the co-founders of the Black Lives Matter movement comes a poetic memoir and reflection on humanity. Necessary and timely, Patrisse Cullors' story asks us to remember that protest in the interest of the most vulnerable comes from love. Leaders of the Black Lives Matter movement have been called terrorists and a threat to America. But in truth, they are loving women whose life experiences have led them to seek justice for those victimized by the powerful. In this meaningful, empowering account of survival, strength, and resilience, Patrisse Cullors, with co-author asha bandele, seek to change the culture that declares innocent black life expendable. 

Patrisse Khan-Cullors is an artist, organizer, and freedom fighter from Los Angeles. Cofounder of Black Lives Matter, she is also a performance artist, Fulbright scholar, popular public speaker, and the 2017 Sydney Peace Prize recipient.
