Today, beginning at 4pm, Boys & Girls Clubs of Manatee County will host a Zoom conversation with acclaimed writer and activist, Kevin Powell. Kevin Powell is a well-known literary, political, cultural, and hip-hop voice. He is a poet, journalist, blogger, civil and human rights activist, public speaker, filmmaker, former two-time candidate for the United States Congress, and an author or editor of 14 books. The event is open to anyone 13 years of age and older. At the conclusion of the program participants should be able to develop their voice for social justice; demonstrate positive ways of being an ally and/or advocate; know how to have those tough conversations around race and politics; access the keys to being a peacemaker making strides for social change; and get involved in their community to make a difference.
