Book Discussion | Studies into Darkness: The Perils and Promise of Freedom of Speech


There have been few times in American history when the very concept of freedom of speech—its promise and its contradictions—has been under greater scrutiny. This book provides a practical and historical guide to free speech discourse and combines it with poetic responses to the contemporary crises around free expression. Ultimately, this publication provocatively questions whether genuine communication is ever attainable. This program brings together the book’s editors Carin Kuoni and Laura Raicovich, contributors Aruna D'Souza and Kameelah Janan Rasheed in conversation, and artists Mendi + Keith Obadike, who present their performance "In The Mouth of This Dragon."

Discussion | We Are One: The 40th Anniversary of the 1982 Chinatown Garment Workers Strike (online)


On June 24th, 1982, nearly 20,000 garment workers gathered in Chinatown’s Columbus Park. Nearly all of them were Chinese immigrant women who supported their families through work in Lower Manhattan’s garment factories, and they gathered in the park to mount the largest strike the city had seen in decades. The women were members of the International Ladies Garment Workers Union (ILGWU), formed in 1900 with mostly Jewish and Italian members; this pivotal strike carried forward the legacy of previous generations of immigrant women garment workers. This talk honoring the 40th anniversary of this historic strike. This virtual event will bring together Katie Quan, former Chair of the UC Berkeley Center for Labor Research and Education and leader of the strike, with Muzaffar Chishti, Executive Director of the ILGWU Heritage Fund. May Chen, labor leader and former Vice President of the ILGWU Local 23-25, will moderate, as Quan and Chishti share their experiences organizing workers during the 1982 strike and reflect on the strike’s relevance today.

This special conversation will be guided by former CBS News Correspondent and author Jacqueline Adams.
