Women of Color: The Power of Protest is a series of three panel discussions that will draw attention to activism and social justice through the lens of historic and contemporary women of color.

Panel Discussion 1: September 12: But Some of Us are Brave: Black Sisterhood and Solidarity Across Cultures

The National Museum of African Art opens the first of three panels in Women of Color: The Power of Protest with the panel— But Some of Us are Brave: Black Sisterhood and Solidarity Across Cultures. Panelists address concepts of sisterhood and solidarity as sources of power across cultures, communities, and color lines. The panel emphasizes that the African Diaspora is comprised of multiple complex communities. Drawing from historical figures within these communities, the panelists will discuss specific examples of (s)heroism and their implications for our time.
