#staywoke.  Have you heard the term?  Do you understand what it means?  We do, and in an attempt to make sure you staywoke, we're inviting you to attend #StayWokeMetro:  Remaining Vigilant, Conscious and Engaged in Trumpmerica - a social justice community forum we're hosting on Saturday, February 17 at 4:30 p.m.  The evening's main event will be a panel discussion featuring Dr. Daryl Howard (author, educator and sociologist), Mr. Courtland Cox (civil rights activist, SNCC (Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee) member, Maryland freedom rider), Dr. Emory Tolbert (history professor, former Howard University history department dean) and students from the Howard University Resist activist group.  Our own Phil Malcolm (host of The Real Phil Show) will moderate the panel.  Keep reading for all the details.
