SUMMARY:BLACK GIRL MOVEMENT CONFERENCE
DESCRIPTION: DATE & TIME:\n\nTHURSDAY\, APRIL 07\, 2016 5:00PM TO SATURDAY\, APRIL 09\, 2016 7:00PM\n\n\n\n\nApril 7- 9\, 2016\n\n\n\nImageNation Cinema Organization | RAW SPACE\n2031 Adam Clayton Powell Jr Blvd\, (Between 121street & 122street)\nNew York\, NY 10027 \n\n\n\n“Black Girl Movement: A National Conference” is a three-day gathering at Columbia University in New York City to focus on Black girls\, cis\, queer\, and trans girls\, in the United States.   Bringing together artists\, activists\, educators\, policymakers\, and black girls leaders themselves\, this first national conference on Black girls seeks to address the disadvantages that Black girls in the United States face\, while creating the political will to publicly acknowledge their achievements\, contributions\, and leadership.\nBlack girls are among the most significant cultural producers\, community connectors\, and trendsetters\, rarely are their contributions recognized or appreciated. At best\, they remain invisible in our public discourse or people assume that all Black girls are doing fine and are “resilient” enough to overcome any structural obstacles put in their way. Nevertheless\, the vast majority of Black girls in the United States are in crisis. They face significant barriers to educational achievement\, economic and political equality\, and are the recipients of deeply embedded racial and gender biases in the media\, public policy\, philanthropy\, and research.\nAs a result\, the planning of this conference has been done by an intergenerational and cross-institution coalition because the most innovative work being done on and with black girls often are in silos and without the full benefits of a collaboration\, funding\, and public visibility.  “Black Girl Movement” is an opportunity change that reality through raising public consciousness\, advancing research\, policy\, and community programming\, and developing a resource sharing platform.  Most importantly\, this conference will highlight Black girls’ agency and ingenuity in order to elevate their voices and solutions toward improving the life outcomes of Black girls in the United States.\n\nCONFERENCE DIRECTIONS\nACCESSIBILITY/ DISABILITY INFORMATION\nAREA HOTELS\nAREA RESTAURANTS\n\n\n\nLocation: Columbia University\, Morningside Campus \n\n\n♦Program Schedule >>>\n♦Black Girlhood Exhibition >>>\n♦Panelist >>>\n♦Co-Sponsors >>>\n♦Planning Committee>>> \n\n\n\n\nCLICK HERE TO REGISTER\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Black Girl Movement is proud to have the following organizations as Co-Sponsors. \nColumbia University Institute for Research in African-American Studies\nColumbia University Institute for Research on Women\, Gender\, and Sexuality\nColumbia University Office of the President\nDean for Social Sciences Faculty of Arts and Sciences\, Columbia University\nFordham University African and African American Studies\nA Long Walk Home\nThe Brotherhood/Sister Sol\nCamille A.
