As Toni Cade Bambara reminds us, it is the duty of cultural workers to reassemble cultural memory. Critics are key in advancing contemporary thought and practice. Critics of color especially can guide us, give exposure and hold us accountable through their intuition, interpretation and study. The writers, scholars and journalists in this panel will discuss their practices in assembling and reassembling our cultural breathing ground to build for our liberation.

Panelists include: Michael Gillespie, Tre Johnson, & Jessica Lynne.
