#BlackLivesMatter in the Trump Era 02/23/2017

Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor writes on black politics, social movements, and racial inequality in the United States. She is an assistant professor in the African American Studies department at Princeton University. According to Taylor, the Black Lives Matter movement has awakened a new generation of activists.

In her recent book, "From #BlackLivesMatter to Black Liberation," she offers a stirring and insightful analysis of the historical and contemporary ravages of racism and persistence of structural inequality, such as mass incarceration and Black unemployment. She argues that this new struggle against police violence holds the potential to reignite a broader push for Black liberation.

This is part of the Will Miller Social Justice Lecture Series.

Vermont is nationally known for its strong food and farm heritage, dating back thousands of years. In this Dish discussion, we’ll explore the ways that our production of dairy products, maple syrup, and fruits and vegetables are similar to earlier times, as well as some recent innovations that are quite different. This program dives into Vermont’s culinary traditions to learn about the way people cooked and ate over the centuries, from indigenous Abenaki to European settlers. The program also explores what Vermonters are doing today to keep that culinary history alive, and how they are forging new traditions.
