“Becoming Ms. Burton: Reentry, Healing, and a New Way of Life” | The Latest Installation of “States of Denial: The Illegal Incarceration of Women, Children, and People of Color”

“Becoming Ms. Burton: Reentry, Healing, and a New Way of Life” is the latest installment of the ongoing series, “States of Denial: The Illegal Incarceration of Women, Children and People of Color,” which is presented by the Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art at the Brooklyn Museum (200 Eastern Parkway).

Join social justice leader and author Susan Burton in a conversation with other reentry advocates and activists about the impact of mass incarceration—and the kind of powerful grassroots organizing led by the formerly incarcerated that is necessary to bring an end to the discriminatory policies and attitudes that dehumanize people inside and outside prison walls.Additional panelists include Cory Greene, co-founder, How Our Lives Link Altogether! (H.O.L.L.A.!), a nonprofit developed from the organizing work and political strategizing of people who served sentences in New York State correctional facilities, and Topeka K. Sam, co-founder, Hope House, a new program for single women returning to New York City from state or federal incarceration.

Entrance is FREE with Museum admission; the first 60 people will receive a free copy of Susan’s book, Becoming Ms. Burton: From Prison to Recovery to Leading the Fight for Incarcerated Women.
