THIS EVENT HAS SOLD OUT.

Commemorating the 30th anniversary of Do The Right Thing, filmmaker Spike Lee and activist Tarana Burke will discuss the possibilities of using radical storytelling to center social justice and foster narrative change. In many ways not much has changed socially and politically since the release of Do The Right Thing in 1989. In other ways things appear worlds apart. Lee, who recently won an Oscar and Burke, founder of ‘me too.’ , both known for shifting the proverbial needle, will highlight the implications of breaking open urgent conversations by centering the people and stories that exist on the margins.
