Poet Aldon Nielsen Reads from Tray

The reading and Q & A session offer an opportunity for students, faculty, staff, alumni, and community members to learn more about the origins of the Black Lives Matter movement, its continuing influence over present-day political movements, and its transformation through creative forums like poetry.
