Synopsis:

“From Martinique to Memphis: Aimé Césaire, Martin Luther King Jr., and Global Black Freedoms” Eric Essono Tsimi, Ph.D.

A spirited presentation highlighting how the decolonial framework links Césaire and King. The discussion will revolve on how the Caribbean island of Martinique and Memphis, the capital of the U.S. state of Tennessee serve as geographical touchpoints that illustrate the transatlantic connections of Black freedom movements. Dr. Tsimi and Dr. Eversley from the Black and Latino Studies Department at Baruch College seek to engage the public in an inclusive, community-driven conversation aiming to find ways of bridging the various African diasporas.
