Our program will run from 11 am to 12:30 pm and you can join in to the meeting starting at 10:45 am for our open social. Followed by an extended discussion for a half hour. Volunteers please join by 10:30 am.
We will be watching and then discussing two videos featuring Kris Manjapra, Professor of History at Tufts University, and author of the book: Black Ghost of Empire: The Long Death of Slavery and the Failure of Emancipation. The topic and videos will be introduced by Toronto Oasis participant Elka Enola.
This Sunday, we will be featuring live music! Our guest musician will be Wesley Blondin-Doan, whose stage name is Kid Grit. Kid Grit’s folk songs are quiet and pensive reflections of a life lived. From the depths of isolation possible in a digital age, to the heights of exaltation, living and growing up in nature. His music travels through the processes of life and how we heal, through gentle whisperings, swelling warm harmonies, and sometimes painful personal admissions – attempting to find peace and truth in the smallest of things.
