SUMMARY:32nd Annual Empowering Womxn of Color Conference
DESCRIPTION:2017 Empowering Women of Color Conference | Unbound and Unboxed: Owning\, Asserting\, and Uplifting our Whole Selves \nKeynote Speaker: Ericka Huggins\nClosing Speaker: Fatima Asghar\n“Caring for myself is not self-indulgence\, it is self-preservation and that is an act of political warfare.” – Audre Lorde\nThe 32nd Annual Empowering Womxn of Color Conference\, “Unbound and Unboxed: Owning\, Asserting\, and Uplifting our Whole Selves” is designed to answer the call for collective healing issued by the ongoing state of racial\, political\, environmental\, and economic trauma. Through the legacy of Shirley Chisholm\, the first black congresswoman and first woman to run for president\, we know that “women in this country must become revolutionaries…and so we must prepare ourselves educationally\, economically\, and psychologically.” In her trailblazing 1970 presidential campaign\, Shirley Chisholm stood “unbought and unbossed.” At the 2017 Empowering Women of Color Conference we stand united; unbound and unboxed.\n \nThis year’s theme speaks to the need for collective care and affirmation as a means of preparation\, preservation\, and resistance. Now more than ever\, womxn of color can no longer afford to neglect ourselves while on the frontlines of global battles against social injustice. We must nurture and free ourselves from the limits and labels imposed on us\, so that we may move effectively on the path to liberation.\n \nThis year we aim to provide a space where womxn of color can come together to hear one another as we explore new imaginings of freedom and well-being. Through a series of innovative workshops\, radical healing spaces\, a panel discussion\, and speakers\, we will explore how we as womxn of color can preserve ourselves and our communities as we work towards changing the world. As we proudly celebrate 32 years of the Empowering Womxn of Color Conference\, we invite people of all ages\, abilities\, socioeconomic backgrounds\, immigration statuses\, gender identities\, sexual orientations\, nationalities\, religions\, and cultural backgrounds to use this as a safe-space for discussion\, community building\, and healing. \n  \nRegister today http://bit.ly/2lf3ZsL

Woodson founded the celebration he called “Negro History Week” in 1926. Dr. Woodson selected the second week of February for the celebration because it fell between the birthdays of the famed orator and abolitionist Frederick Douglass and President Abraham Lincoln. In 1976\, the celebration expanded to include the entire month of February. Today\, Black History Month is celebrated across the United States by people of all ethnic and social backgrounds. At Pacific\, it is observed during a monthlong celebration in February organized by Pacific’s Black History Month Planning Committee.

SUMMARY:From Labor to Reward: An Evening with Martha C. Taylor
DESCRIPTION:Join author Rev. Dr. Martha C. Taylor – who has served as both SFTS and GTU adjunct professor — for an evening discussing her newest book\, From Labor to Reward. \nThursday\, February 23\, 2017 | 7PM – 8:30 PM \nSan Francisco Theological Seminary\n101 Seminary Road\nScott Hall room 101\nSan Anselmo\, CA 94960\nCOMPLIMENTARY ADMISSION – REGISTER ONLINE \nThis groundbreaking book fills a huge void in American religious history\, black religious history\, and traditions of the black church. Until now\, no other book has chronicled the rich religious experiences of black church beginnings in the Bay Area. Martha C. Taylor provides penetrating insight into the early makings of the black church in the Bay Area. With attention to detail\, Taylor captures the joys\, frustrations\, and unity of black people who left the segregated Deep South\, came to the Bay Area seeking freedom only to face similar adversities of segregation\, racism\, housing discrimination\, KKK threats of violence\, and other socio-political barriers. Remarkably\, these early pioneers brought their culture\, traditions\, and experiences from the South and built a strong vibrant religious community. From Labor to Reward speaks for the legacy of African Americans who were gospel social activists using the church as the anchor. Multiple sources of research and interviews were gathered from church records\, newspaper clippings\, and other written sources to tell this unknown story. \nRev. Dr. Martha C. Taylor is the Historian for the Progressive National Baptist Convention\, Inc. and church historian for the historic Allen Temple Baptist Church\, Oakland\, California. She has served as adjunct professor for the San Francisco Theological Seminary\, Graduate Theological Union\, Berkeley\, Doctor of Ministry and Masters of Divinity programs. Taylor is dually ordained as an American Baptist and Presbyterian Minister. She resides in Oakland\, California.

He has performed on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon and the Hip Hop Awards on BET Network. He is an artist focused on caring for people\, providing messages of hope and inspiration.

Woodson founded the celebration he called “Negro History Week” in 1926. Dr. Woodson selected the second week of February for the celebration because it fell between the birthdays of the famed orator and abolitionist Frederick Douglass and President Abraham Lincoln. In 1976\, the celebration expanded to include the entire month of February. Today\, Black History Month is celebrated across the United States by people of all ethnic and social backgrounds. At Pacific\, it is observed during a monthlong celebration in February organized by Pacific’s Black History Month Planning Committee.
