Tarana Burke, social justice advocate and founder of the 'me too.' Movement, presents a lecture.
Date: Wednesday, Feb. 6
Time: 7 p.m.
Location: Satellite Student Union
Tarana Burke shares the story behind the 2017 Time Person of the Year-winning 'me too.' Movement. #MeToo is not just an overnight hashtag sensation; Tarana has dedicated more than 25 years of her life to a movement that was initially created to help young women of color who survived sexual abuse and assault. The movement now inspires solidarity, amplifies the voices of thousands of victims, and puts the focus back on survivors.
