IV. COMIN FROM WHERE I'M FROM.... A BLM Timeline in the Making

Part One: Read over the timeline.  Follow the three prompts.  Click here for the doc version if you like.  Take notes all over the page,  Be prepared to chart your notes.  Add in events/issues from the book!

Part Two: Work the walls!  Work the room... please be mindful of your own and others' mobilities.

Part Three:  Now let's do the researchers. Themes?  Take-aways?  Conclusions? Here is the research question:  How do 2018 graduate students interested in intersectionality and activist research connect to BLM?    How are they experiencing their lives, communities, literacies, politics in the context of the M4BL today?
