The Journey to Black Liberation Symposium is a follow-up of learnings from the Black Love Matters 2017 Un-Conference at York University. The focus of the JTBL symposium is not just to bear witness to oppression and injustice, but it is to create a cross-borders network of Black activists, academics and other stakeholders looking at sharing ideas, strategizing, educating each other, and community-building in efforts to achieve Black liberation globally. The symposium kicks off on Friday evening at 6:30 in the Marilyn Brewer Community Space of the Harbourfront Centre, and continues Saturday with conversations featuring artists, activists, and academics from a variety of communities.
