Join the BCBAA at the Harlem Children's Zone Rasuli Lewis March for Peace
The Bowdoin College Black Alumni Association (BCBAA) invites you to the Harlem Children's Zone Rasuli Lewis March for Peace. Named after longstanding HCZ staff member (and Bowdoin alum from the class of 1973) Rasuli Lewis, the March offers a moment of community solidarity and activism.
Rasuli Lewis led and created a variety of programs at the Harlem Children's Zone, including the Peacemakers program and Practitioners Institute. He also mentored countless staff, youth, and community members, leaving a lasting impact on the organization and its people. After his passing in 2019, the event was renamed in his honor.
We'll convene for the March as well as the performances and remarks. A casual reception for BCBAA members will follow.
