Rescheduled: 46th Anniversary Celebration – 3/21/26
Preserving the Legacy of Black Liberation in the Age of MAGA. Featuring the launch of our Black Archives Project with Panelists Terry Kennedy (Kujaliwa Hukumu), Janey Archey, Jamala Rogers)
The First Rainbow Coalition charts the history and legacy of a groundbreaking multi-racial coalition that rocked Chicago in the 1960s. Comprised of activists from the Black Panthers, the Young Patriots (southern whites), and the Young Lords (a former Puerto Rican street gang), this formation briefly united poor blacks, whites, and Latinos around common issues facing their communities before being destroyed by police sabotage. Building a strong, radical multiracial movement will be critical in a post-trump world. What lessons can we learn from the brothers and sisters who founded the first Rainbow Coalition.
