Join SURJ for a workshop to learn and discuss on why the white left and SDS failed to effectively follow Black leadership and align itself alongside and behind the movement for Black liberation. We will be joined by David Barber, author of "A Hard Rain Fell: SDS and Why it Failed" to share this history. Participants will have a chance to connect with others across the network to discuss what we can learn from this to inform our organizing today. The workshop will explore questions that include: What can we learn from previous efforts of predominantly white groups trying to align themselves with the movement for Black liberation? What mistakes can we learn from? What patterns do we still see showing up today? How might we move to more powerfully answer the call to organize our communities toward a vision of liberation?
