BlackDisabledLivesMatter

October 5, 2020  5-6:30pm  Zoom Meeting

On October 5th, The University of Maryland will host of panel of experts
and activists whose work centers the intersection of race and disability.
During the recent surge of activism by Black Lives Matter, Black people
with disabilities have insisted that there is no justice without disability
inclusion. We will host disabled activists from the
#BlackDisabledLivesMatter movement to discuss the re-framing of diversity,
equity and inclusion that accompanies thinking from the complexities of
race and disability.  Our panel includes a recent UMD Smith School grad who
will reflect on his experience as a Black disabled individual.
