\u201cLatin soul comes straight from the streets of Harlem. It\u2019s a cha-cha backbeat with English lyrics and a pulsating rhythm that makes your feet come alive.\u201d
\n\u00a0\u2014 Joe Bataan<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Come learn about the power of music to move people\u2014to get us on our feet and across borders of race, geography, class, language, and culture. The intersecting lines of heritage in Joe Bataan\u2019s<\/a> music and identity offer a unique entry point into the lives and community commitments of the civil rights movement and a deeper understanding of the American experience. Born and raised in <\/strong>Spanish Harlem<\/strong><\/a> to a Filipino father and an African American mother, Joe Bataan symbolizes the dynamic intersections between Afro-Asian-Latino histories and cultural forms.
\n<\/strong>\u00a0
\nJoin us for a public discussion featuring Joe Bataan, activist and performer Nobuko Miyamoto<\/a>, and African American Studies scholar Dr. Jeffrey O.G. Ogbar<\/a>. With them we revisit the political and cultural ferment and collaboration of the late 1960s and 1970s in New York City when groups such as the Black Panther Party<\/a>, the Young Lords Party<\/a>, Asian Americans for Action, and El Comit\u00e9<\/a> contributed to dynamic social justice movements, catalyzed largely by young people, which inspired cultural pride, creativity, and activism. Miguel \u201cMickey\u201d Melendez, author and former member of the Young Lords, will moderate the discussion.<\/p>\n
