AMERICAN REVOLUTIONARY: The Evolution of Grace Lee Boggs ~ A Racial Justice Film & Discussion
Grace Lee Boggs is a  99-year-old Chinese American philosopher, writer, and activist in Detroit with a thick FBI file and a surprising vision of what an American revolution can be. Rooted for 75 years in the labor, civil rights and Black Power movements, she challenges a new generation to throw off old assumptions, think creatively and redefine revolution for our times.

How a smart, determined, idealistic Chinese American woman became a civil rights movement fixture from its earliest post-war days and, later, a spokesperson for Black Power (often the only non-black  and only woman  in a roomful of unapologetic activists planning for a revolution they believed inevitable) is a riveting and revealing tale.

American Revolutionary shows that Boggs got in on the action  and the action got going  long before the turbulent 1960s. As she reminds a group of students, "I got my Ph.D. in 1940. Just imagine that." Born in 1915 in Providence, R.I. to Chinese immigrants who moved to New York and prospered in the restaurant trade  Chin Lee's opened in Manhattan in 1924  she grew up relatively privileged and excelled at the nearly all-white Bryn Mawr and Barnard Colleges.

This event is free and open to the public.
