Channels: Asian Diasporas in Film, Art, and Media invites you to two upcoming events celebrating the life and legacy of pioneering social activist Grace Lee Boggs, a Chinese-American philosopher, writer and activist in Detroit with a thick FBI file and a surprising vision of what an American revolution can be. Rooted for 75 years in the labor, civil rights, and Black Power movements, she challenged a new generation to throw off old assumptions, think creatively, and redefine revolution for our times.
