“We Advocate Freedom!” Teach-In Series | Session 6 (Part II)

Don’t miss the final session of the “We Advocate Freedom!” Teach-In Series, hosted by Iliff President Dr. Lee H. Butler, Jr., as we welcome Rabbi Joe Black for an insightful interview on Freedom is a Constant Struggle: Ferguson, Palestine, and the Foundations of a Movement by Angela Davis. This book bridges global struggles for justice, drawing us into an essential dialogue on freedom, solidarity, and resilience.

Our guest, Rabbi Joe Black, brings a unique perspective to this powerful conversation. As the Senior Rabbi of Temple Emanuel and a long-time leader in both religious and civic communities, Rabbi Black has dedicated his life to building inclusive and compassionate communities. With a background that spans community chaplaincy, leadership in multi-faith initiatives, and national recognition as a musician, author, and educator, Rabbi Black combines profound spiritual insight with a commitment to justice and social action. His voice will add depth and nuance to our exploration of the intersections of faith, activism, and communal responsibility.

In this interview-style session, Dr. Butler and Rabbi Black will discuss the themes raised by Davis, examining how collective movements confront and transcend systemic oppression.

This hybrid teach-in will be hosted both in person at Iliff and via Zoom. Join us for an evening of meaningful dialogue as we close out this series with reflection, inspiration, and a shared commitment to justice.
