‘We Are Meant to Rise’ Panel Reading and Discussion (Hamline)

Please join Hamline faculty Carolyn Holbrook, Sun Yung Shin and Erin Sharkey, and Hamline graduate Kevin Yang as they share their writing from the powerful new anthology, “We Are Meant to Rise: Voices for Justice from Minneapolis to the World” (University of Minnesota Press), a brilliant and rich gathering of voices on the American experience of this past year and beyond, from Indigenous writers and writers of color from Minnesota. Their essays and poems vividly reflect the traumas we endured in 2020, beginning with the COVID-19 pandemic, deepened by the murder of George Floyd. This work bears witness to one of the most unsettling years in U.S. history.
