Expired Women of the Black Panthers

Join us for a full day of professional learning as we explore the stories of people who have made contributions in the struggle for civil rights but are not household names, therefore; Hidden Voices. Attendees to this full day in-person professional learning session will explore the history of Black Panther Party with members of the organization and a preeminent historian of the Panthers. This session will prove an opportunity for attendees to learn from the authors of the groundbreaking book Comrade Sisters: Women of the Black Panther Party.

The Paley Center for Media will share resources that they have connected to the history of the Black Panthers and we will have a special opening plenary with scholar Yohuru Williams, and authors Ericka Huggins and Stephen Shames. The NYCDOE Social Studies department will also share the latest Hidden Voices resources and model ways to bring this important history back to the classroom. Attendees will receive Comrade Sisters and other curricular resources.
