It Did Happen Here Spring Tour
Donation protected
November 13, 1988, in the middle of a rainy Portland night three young white men fueled by racial hate murdered Mulugeta Seraw, (ሙሉጌታ ስራው,) a beautiful and beloved immigrant son, father, and nephew.
It Did Happen Here is an independent, collectively created and produced podcast , book and free high school curriculum centering an oral history featuring over 30 voices of disparate groups of everyday people in Portland, Oregon who came together after the terrible event, and chased overt violent white racist skinheads out of the music scene and off the streets of the Rose City.
Hiphop educator, artist, author, and veteran street fighter Mic Crenshaw—who as a teenage member of the Minneapolis Baldies stood up to the Klan in the Twin Cities and co-founded the national organization Anti Racist Action—joins writer, author, and longtime agitprop activist Moe Bowstern, to take It Did Happen Here to Georgia, North Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee, Kentucky and Alabama. Mic and Moe—along with special guests featured in the podcast—will hold important public conversations about root causes of racial violence in the United States, and what our histories and lived experience can teach us about addressing white supremacy today.
Your donations of any amount will pay for plane fare, a rental car, fuel, and accommodations when necessary. Times are tough these days, if you are not in a place to donate, please share widely, listen to the podcast, and tell your friends and family we are on the way! Unite to fight! Thank you!
