In Fall 2024, the Social Justice Scholars engaged in an in-depth exploration of readings from Ain't Gonna Let Nobody Turn Me Around - Forty Years of Movement Building with Barbara Smith edited by Alethia Jones and Virginia Eubanks with Barbara Smith, an anthology of texts and interviews by Cleveland-born activist and scholar, Barbara Smith.
Selected participants received one book and any subsequent readings, and received a $250 award for their full participation over the fall semester. Participants agreed to be responsible for reading all of the assigned materials, and must attend five planning and discussion sessions.
