Face the Music: Combat Erasure

This eight week-long course builds skills for confronting racism through discussions and trainings. In Face the Music, we highlight Black American songs and musical history that contain lessons for confronting systemic oppression in our lives, organizations and communities. Hosted virtually, these sessions foster relationships within the cohort, expose people to new resources and tactics for calling out injustice, and reveal hidden counter-narratives.
