I often take our location here in University City for granted. There is always so much going on near campus! Just down the street is World Café Live and this Thursday, February 6th they are hosting a Black Lives Matter Philly Week of Action Benefit Show.
From World Café Live: “This concert will feature African American performing artists in a celebration of Black Joy and Activism in Philadelphia. It is an opportunity to celebrate what public education truly means for Philly youth, families, and communities.Proceeds of the ticket sales will go to the Black Educators Fund (co-sponsored by Black Lives Matter Philly and the Melanated Educators Collective), which is raising money to pay the out of pocket expenses teachers incur during the school year, provide resources to help educators decolonize their syllabuses, and make their classrooms accessible for students with disabilities.”
