[Wamvan] Conversations with an Activist

[Natalie Hill]

Looks like a very cool event happening at the end of the month.  Not sure
if people on the listserv are interested in UBC events, but I haven't heard
any protests..... so I'll keep sending! :)

UBC Student Leila Trickey will be teaming up with “Little Rock Nine” member

dialogue and empowerment.

Minnijean Brown
Trickey<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uvgvRChtkbA&feature=related>is
one of the nine African American students, known as the “Little Rock
Nine,” who desegregated Little Rock Central High School in 1957, with
protection from federal troops. She has continued as a peacemaker, social
justice activist worldwide.

Shad <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dcCfQy3EvQ> (Shadrach Kabango) is a
bright, exceptionally gifted, emcee from London, ON. Shad is known for his
humor, passion, pain, creativity and socially conscious lyrics.

In a discussion with Shad, Minnijean will share her experience in Little
Rock and a life of activism from origins to present. Join us while we
engage these two great minds on a single stage.
