Bring your cup of coffee, tea, breakfast or lunch, and join us to hear about A Moment of Silence: 50+ Black MN Voices in a Historical Moment of Transformation“, edited by Mac alum Shá Cage ’95. She shared, “This Anthology shines a light on our rich Minnesota literary community of leaders, activists, politicians, mothers, scholars, youth, and elders who speak truth and resilience at this time when it is needed most. I was inspired both by a deep desire to usher forth radical and futuristic realities and moved by the asserting of political power and collective solidarity in the Black Community as if saying, ‘We Are the Ones We have Been Waiting For.’” Shá Cage ’95 will talk about launching this groundbreaking new work online and plans to publish it in book form, as well as other local initiatives she is working with aimed at centering art and equity to create change and social justice. A portion of the time will be spent with Q&A.

Shá Cage ’95 is a writer, activist, theater/film performer, and director raised in Mississippi and living in Minnesota who has been called a Change-maker, one of the leading artists of her generation, and a mover and maker.
