Summary
In this session, we use the Africana Studies Framework to reflect on continuities and disruptions in US and global Social Structures and how thinking in and with Africana Governance formations must lead to rejuvenating and sharing connections between memory, ritual and vision. How do we move beyond distractions to embrace ancestral wisdom in order to renew and best utilize our genealogies? Gleaning insight from a variety of past and immediate experiences, this session asks, are we the embodiment of dreams and sacrifices that made our lives possible? Should that even be a guiding question? What are or should we be focused on to do in these times of collapse, reformation and potential renegotiation?
