Dedicated to harnessing the power of arts and education for racial and social justice, the power of truths festival returns for its fourth year.

Sponsored by Self-Evident Education and the Northampton Arts Council, the festival offers a unique opportunity to help build a community dedicated to seeing and understanding the history of racism and resistance, how that history is manifest today, and learning, together, how we can create a free and just future for all Americans.

Join us at the historic Bombyx Center in Florence, MA, April 4 and 5, where you can:

• watch and discuss multi-media documentaries about the history of racism and resistance that are often ignored in traditional history books and classes
• hear from ground-breaking scholars and authors who will challenge you with their profound knowledge and cutting-edge insights
• listen to live music—including hip-hop and jazz
• talk with people of your own and other generations about critical issues that affect us all
• participate in creative thinking and doing—making art, writing in a workshop, and collaborating in a shared project
• go on a walking tour of racial and social justice history sites

and so much more…..

This two-day Festival will leave you vibrating with the energy of discovering long-buried moments in American history that shine a blazing light on today. You’ll find new ideas, connections to new acquaintances and friends, and possibly new ways to think about yourself and your life.
