YouTube Description
as posted by the channelIn this episode of ASCENDING with APRIL R. SILVER (host), our discussion focuses on a few things that might not seem congruent to many people at first thought: Mississippi/Deep South and Palestine/Global South. Silver welcomes CANDACE ABDUL-TAWWAB to ground zero. She is the co-founder and executive director of a new nonprofit humanitarian organization, MISSISSIPPI FOR A JUST WORLD (based in Jackson, MS).
The organization’s goal and purpose are to “be a living, breathing movement for human rights, deeply rooted in the enduring legacy of Mississippi's human liberation struggle. Across borders and cultures … we are fighting for a world where every individual is empowered [and] where justice prevails…” What makes the org radical is that none of this is negotiable!
Fresh off the heels of launching their keynote series (where MARC LAMONT HILL, ANGELA DAVIS, and AMANDA SEALES have been featured over the past four months), AbdulTawwab shares that “This series was born from a belief that Mississippi’s stories are deeply connected to the world’s freedom struggles.” Learn more at
