On Monday, October 1 at 6:00 p.m., Dr. Kaila Adia Story will present “The Fight for our Freedom Starts with Ourselves: How Black and Latinx Queer and Trans Folks have Changed the Ideological and Sociopolitical Contours of America” in the Auditorium.
Dr. Story’s multimedia and interactive discussion will focus on the works and activism of Miss Major, Audre Lorde, Gloria Anzaldúa, and Shane Ortega.
