#BlackLivesMatter co-creator Alicia Garza at Skidmore
Activist Alicia Garza will be giving a talk about the Black Lives Matter movement at Skidmore February 27.
Garza, along with Opal Tometi and Pattrisse Cullors, created #BlackLivesMatter on Twitter following the acquittal of George Zimmerman in the death of Trayvon Martin. She's worked as an organizer for groups based in the Bay Area and is currently the special projects director for the National Domestic Workers Alliance. Here's a profile of Garza in The Advocate from December.
Garza's talk is Saturday, February 27 at 5 pm in Palamountain Hall's Gannett Auditorium. It's part of the NY6 LGBTQIA Spectrum Conference, and it's free and open to the public.
