An inspiration to many activists, community organizers, and revolutionaries for decades upon decades and beyond, we paid tribute to Grace Lee Boggs, as her - what would have been - 102nd birthday passed on June 27th.

We sat down with Chicago-based activist Sarah Lu to talk about The Next American Revolution: Sustainable Activism for the 21st Century, co-written with Scott Kurashige. In this deeply humanistic book, Boggs shows how to create the radical social change we need to confront new realities. Tune in!

Key questions: 
1. What does Grace mean by "reinventing culture?"
2. What is visionary organizing? Transformational organizing?
3. What is a humanist? 
4. What, according to Grace, are the "qualifications" of a movement activist?
