LULA WASHINGTON — WALLIS PANEL

The Wallis presents SOCIAL ACTIVISM AND THE ARTS—LESSONS FROM THE LEGACY OF DICK GREGORY, a panel dedicated to bringing Gregory’s committed activist message forward as a means to resist, confront, and counter the ongoing and potentially catastrophic reversals in our polity since the presidential election of November 2016.

Participants include Joe Morton (who recently played Gregory in Turn Me Loose at The Wallis), Tavis Smiley, Shamell Bell, and the great Los Angeles dancer-choreographer Lula Washington. Writer and UCLA professor Tananarive Due will moderate.
