At 91, Grace Lee Boggs still regularly travels the country for speaking engagements, providing guidance to activists and organizers on her experience with social justice movements and her vision for the future. All this is done in addition to her usual commitments as an activist in Detroit, running the Boggs Center and participating in labor, civil rights and people of color movements in the city.
On Friday, May 4th, I once again had the chance to hear Grace Lee Boggs speak in New York City. Although I have heard her speak several times in the past, this time the theme of Grace’s speech was Martin and Malcolm—the connections, common threads, and shared lessons we can take from these two visionaries. The event took place at the Brecht Forum in Greenwich Village, as community members packed into the space to hear her words.
