Honoring the Past • Igniting the Future
Dr. Paul Ortiz is professor of labor history at Cornell University, and a former RCNV board member. He is the author of An African American and Latinx History of the United States, which has recently been banned by the Department of Defense and a growing number of libraries and school districts. His forthcoming book, A Social Movement History of the United States, will be published by Beacon Press.
The Resource Center for Nonviolence is honored to gather around his words for what promises to be a defining address for our times: “The Flames We Tend: Building The New Freedom Movement Now.”
Join the RCNV for La Ofrenda, a sacred gathering where memory meets movement, as they honor the ancestors of justice and kindle the flames of tomorrow’s freedom struggles. Your presence at this year’s fundraiser directly sustains RCNV’s vital work when the world needs courageous hope more than ever.
Dr. Ortiz has graciously offered to sign books during the dessert reception. RCNV will offer copies for purchase and he is also happy sign a book you already own.
