You Can’t Stop the Revolution: Community Disorder and Social Ties in Post-Ferguson America with Andrea S. Boyles

Join the Anacostia Community Museum for a discussion with Andrea S. Boyles, sociologist and author of "You Can’t Stop the Revolution: Community Disorder and Social Ties in Post-Ferguson America." In conversation with Derek Hyra, associate professor and Founding Director of the Metropolitan Policy Center at American University, Boyles will discuss her book which offers a view from inside the Ferguson protests as the Black Lives Matter movement catapulted onto the global stage and serves as a reminder that community empowerment is still possible in neighborhoods experiencing police brutality and interpersonal violence. This event is part of an ongoing "A Right to the City" Author Talk series with American University’s Metropolitan Policy Center and the DC Public Library.
