The Wits Institute for Social and Economic Research (WiSER) will host a public lecture and presentation by Robin Kelley.
Kelly is a Gary B. Nash Professor of American History at University of California, Los Angeles and the author of Africa Speaks, America Answers: Modern Jazz in Revolutionary Times and Freedom Dreams: The Black Radical Imagination. This lecture will link two moments of insurgency on college campuses, mostly in the US but also in other places—those of the 1980s-90s and recent black protests.
The lecture will be introduced by Victoria Collis-Buthelezi and chaired by Bongani Madondo.
