BMRC Fellow New Book Talk with David Stovall

The Black Metropolis Research Consortium invites you to a compelling book talk on March 11, 2026 with Dr. David Stovall (University of Illinois Chicago), author of Engineered Conflict: Structural Violence and the Future of Black Life in Chicago.

Dr. Stovall, was a BMRC Summer Research Fellow in 2020 and conducted research for his book project at that time.

Dr. Stovall will be in conversation with Damon Williams, a movement builder, hip-hop performing artist, and educator from the South Side of Chicago.

Join us at The Forum Cafe (318 E. 43rd Street) at 6:15 pm for what promises to be a dynamic discussion of "how state policy displaces and isolates Black communities" and the "ways Black communities have resisted state violence and the work of local organizations to address marginalization."
