1. Discussion 2: Video Featuring Tameka Greer
Tameka Greer, founder and director of Memphis Artists for Change (MAC), recently sat for
an interview to talk about the work of her nonprofit and the advocacy work that she and her
colleagues engage in every single day. She touches on a variety of social issues that MAC
lends its voice to, including police reform in Memphis. Ms. Greer is a very compelling
speaker, and MAC’s advocacy activity in the Social Justice space offers inspiration to other
NPOs looking to ramp up their advocacy work.The video is posted under the MODULES
tab. As with the first video you watched with Adam Nikas, I’d like you to watch this one
with Ms. Greer, then offer your thoughts about it. The video is about 40 minutes in
length. In this discussion board, I simply need you to address one or more of the following
topics: 1. What general thoughts do you have about MAC’s philosophy and approach to
the social justice advocacy work they do every day? 2. What reaction do you have to Ms.
Greer’s explanation of how and why MAC is lending its voice to police reform in
Memphis? 3. Are there any issues that Ms. Greer touched on that you’d like to talk about
more with her? What and why?This assignment is worth 30 points, 20 of which will come
from participating in the discussion and five of which will come from posting your thoughts
by the deadline of February 8th.
