CREATING FUTURES NOW
A Year of Visionary Organizing
Saturday, May 20, 2023
In 1963 James Boggs published his first book, The American Revolution: Pages from a Negro Workers Notebook. Boggs’ writings continue to influence our thought and practice 60 years later, as exemplified by the work of the James and Grace Lee Boggs Center to Nurture Community Leadership, the James and Grace Lee Boggs School, Birwood House, Feedom Freedom Growers, Freedom Dreams CLT, and other movement organizations engaged in visionary organizing.
Featured events include:
“Freedom Dreaming and Visionary Organizing,” a conversation between Robin D. G. Kelley, renowned movement historian and author of Freedom Dreams, Myrtle Thompson-Curtis, founder of Feedom Freedom Growers, and Julia Putnam, co-founder and principal of the Boggs School.

“Systems Transition in Detroit,” a workshop by Visionary Organizing Lab, which includes a preview screening of their new documentary, Feedom Freedom Growers.
