Black to the Future

Do Black people exist in the future? This question, a tough question, seems to sit unanswered amongst the Black community. Often the victims of police violence and discrimination, a people where a Black girl can literally disappear without a trace, it’s a real question. One way to think about futures is to literally dream about it, and there is so much rich literature that provides contexts, solutions, and more questions on this very topic. In this episode, we’re discussing the futures of not just Black people, but more specifically, Black women as we dive into the discourse surrounding Black feminist theory and place it on a continuum we have yet to traverse. We are joined by guest T Lacy, the assistant director here at the University of Chicago writing program, to merge the discourse on Black Science-Fiction and Black Feminist Theory. We’re taking y’all to the future! Are you ready?
