TL Commemorates Black August
Register for the discussion with Orisanmi Burton on Wednesday 8/20 at 6pm ET!
”This month is a time to reflect and learn about the legacies of Black revolutionaries, while we rededicate ourselves to the protracted struggles against white supremacy, colonialism, capitalism, and imperialism. We study, plan, and pledge to continue the work and fight for Black liberation.” - Monifa Bandele
What an honor to discuss Tip of the Spear: Black Radicalism, Prison Repression, and the Long Attica Revolt during Black August, a month dedicated to remembering Black political prisoners and studying the history and enduring legacy of Black resistance and radicalism. We are looking forward to discussing this essential text with author, Orisanmi Burton, and our TL community.
As a reminder, if you haven’t finished the book or even if you haven’t cracked it open yet, please don’t hesitate to join us. Your presence is welcomed as we will be coming together in community to commemorate an important month for anyone interested in our struggle for liberation.

See you soon!
Join us on Wednesday, August 20 from 6:00-7:00 PM ET to discuss Tip of the Spear with Orisanmi Burton!
