AWI Voices With Impact presents: Celebrating Black Resilience
“With each generation we outsmart our colonizers.
We hacked their code and reprogrammed ourselves to create
The rhythm, food, music, dance that the world moves to in unison.
And still we thrive.”
– From “Still We Thrive” by Campbell X
The atrocities that have been committed against Black people are too many to count. But so, too, are the ways that Black people have responded with strength, creativity, and beauty. In this session, filmmakers Campbell X, Fan Sissoko, and Jameelah Nruddin celebrate and magnify the ways in which Black resilience has manifested itself individually, in families, and in our culture at large.
