SUMMARY:Friday Nights at OMCA  with Off the Grid featuring Fall Teacher Night and book celebration of "Comrade Sisters: Women of the Black Panther Party"
DESCRIPTION:Friday Nights at OMCA with The Whoadees and Special Guests\n\n        \n    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nDJ Sake One; Comrade Sisters Book Release and Conversation with Ericka Huggins and Stephen Shames\n\n\n\nCelebrate the book release of Comrade Sisters: Women of the Black Panther Party by joining OMCA for a panel conversation with its authors\, early Party member and leader Ericka Huggins\, and photographer Stephen Shames. It’s estimated that six out of ten Panther Party members were women; Comrade Sisters is their story.  \n\n\n\nKicking off the event in the OMCA Garden at 6:45 pm is a performance featuring Tarika Lewis\, the first woman to join the Black Panther Party\, as well as former members Tureeda Mikell\, Val Serrant\, and Tacuma King. Following this\, explore the power of photography to raise awareness of social issues with Stephen Shames\, and hear from Ericka Huggins\, Katherine Campbell\, Fredrika Newton\, and Tarika Lewis as they share their reflections on the critical role women played in the Black Panther Party.  \n\n\n\nThis Friday Night is also dedicated to our teachers. Prior to the OMCA Garden program\, teachers and educators are invited to join a special conversation at 5:30 pm at Oak St. Plaza with former member and educator Ericka Huggins\, and photographer Stephen Shames to explore ways to uplift students and have honest conversations about our history. Teachers can check in at the Teacher Night desk to receive free gallery admission\, and the first 100 will receive food truck and drink tickets. No RSVP required\, but space for the teacher conversation with Ericka Huggins and Stephen Shames is limited. \n\n\n\nCopies of the book will be available for sale onsite\, and visitors are welcome to have their copy signed following the program from 8-8:30 pm. DJ Sake One will be playing in the Amphitheater from 6 to 8 pm. \n\n\n\n*Performances are subject to change. \n\n\n\nOff The Grid Lineup of Food Trucks\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Friday Nights: \n\n\n\nReconnect with family\, friends\, and community at OMCA every Friday night.
