Presentation topics address anti-Black racism, activities to transform the hearts of humankind and break outworn societal constructs, efforts and knowledge to increase understanding and acceptance of Black culture, the global significance of eliminating racism, acquiring skill sets that thwart racism and promote healing racial trauma, and more. This is a collaborative space for all who are united by a commonly held commitment to “carrying forward an ever-advancing civilization”, to which the precedent for that lofty and attainable goal is the eradication of racism. Without that accomplishment there can be no justice and no real peace for humanity.

She will also share how she created the 5 Points Art Gallery + Studios. This mixed-use art space located in the 5 Points neighborhood on the north side of Milwaukee, Wisconsin serves as a space for the increased representation and the collection of local, national, and international contemporary fine and outsider artwork produced by artists of color.

We dedicate this episode in loving memory of Kevin Locke, who passed away on October 1st. Kevin Locke (Lakota name: Tȟokéya Inážiŋ meaning “The First to Arise”) was of Dakota descent of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and Anishinaabe of White Earth. He was a preeminent player of the Native American flute, a traditional storyteller, cultural ambassador, recording artist and educator. He was best-known for his hoop dance, The Hoop of Life.
When asked in 2012 about his mission in life, Locke said, “All of the people have the same impulses, spirits, and goals. Through my music and dance, I want to create a positive awareness of oneness of humanity.”
We share our heartfelt sympathy with Kevin’s wife, Ceylan, daughter Patricia, and his adult children and grandchildren as we mourn our collective loss of this exceptional man.
