On June 4, the Centre for Research in Race and Rights (C3R) and the Department of American and Canadian Studies held the second of five dialogues at the New Art Exchange, a series connected to the gallery's Get Up Stand Up exhibition and funded by the British Academy Rising Star Engagement project on Race and Rights (2015-16). Featuring community organiser and founder/director Lisa Robinson, and C3R research associates Peter Ling and Cecile Wright, the debate covered lessons from civil rights-era grassroots tactics, the relationship between grassroots activism and mainstream party politics today, the history of black protest in ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½, the contemporary protest scene in the UK and the transatlantic Black Lives Matter movement. It featured speaker presentations, a music video, group conversations between the 50 attendees and the workshopping of ideas for the future.
