Why Racial & Social Justice Matters: Exploring the Intersection of Race, Social Justice & Transformation
Join long standing social activist Mr. Yusef Shakur as he uses the phenomenon of code-switching to explore the intersection of race, social justice and transformation. Yusef epitomizes redemption from the many lessons he learned from his father whom he met in prison for the first time. As a Black organic intellectual, unorthodox leader and father he has demonstrated his commitment to the revolutionary principles of social justice as activist and organizer to enhance the lives of others across race, religion and class through his works of restoring the neighbor back to the hood.
