SUMMARY:Pierson College Tea with Kenyatta Emmanuel
DESCRIPTION:Location: 231 Park Street\, New Haven\, CT 06511 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTea to be followed by dinner in Pierson College Dining Hall. Meal plans or guest purchases required. \n\n\n\nThe Civic Allyship Initiative at Dwight Hall at Yale\, in collaboration with Full Citizens Coalition\, Pierson College\, the Afro-American Cultural Center\, and Yale Law School\, present artist and activist Kenyatta Emmanuel from Wednesday\, November 2nd through Thursday\, November 3rd\, 2022. As we prepare to cast our ballots we look to remind and galvanize the Yale community and Connecticut community at large–especially the families of those disenfranchised under the weight of felony convictions–that we can be the voice and power for change in Connecticut and ultimately in this country. Come celebrate with us\, plan with us\, build and take power through our collective vote and voice. \n\n\n\nAbout Kenyatta Emmanuel:Singer and songwriter Kenyatta Emmanuel will offer song and story to contextualize and reinforce the human reality of our movement. Kenyatta is an artist and activist who has shared his music from Sing Sing to Carnegie Hall\, offering a full live concert the same day of his release after serving 24½ years in prison. Kenyatta collaborated with a range of stakeholders in and outside of carceral spaces to impact the world artistically and socially\, forming initiatives such as Voices From Within\, which serves the children of incarcerated parents. He is an example of and tireless advocate for the wealth of potential awaiting discovery in the nation’s carceral spaces. His offering of music and message is consistent from his 2014 TEDx talk through his presentation at the 2022 International Wellbeing Summit\, exploring the beauty of life\, love\, and the human condition\, reminding us of all that we hold in common. \n\n\n\nKenyatta Emmanuel is currently a teaching artist with Carnegie Hall’s Musical Connections program\, as well as the Rehabilitation Through the Arts program. He is a Galaxy Leaders Fellow\, and is currently developing a curriculum for Racial Justice and Abolition Democracy as an Artist in Residence for the Initiative for a Just Society at Columbia Law School.
