Black Agenda Report 20th Anniversary Celebration

BAR Anniversary

The Black Agenda Report celebrated its 20th anniversary on November 7, 2026, at Arnhold Hall at The New School in New York City, hosted by its School of Media Studies. The celebration was also a tribute to Black Agenda Report co-founders Glen Ford and Bruce Dixon.

More than 100 guests gathered to hear remarks from the editorial team of Margaret Kimberley, Dr. Jemima Pierre, and Ajamu Baraka and a keynote address from Dr. Gerald Horne. Jacqueline Luqman moderated a discussion on The Future of Black Radical Journalism with panelists Dr. Charisse Burden-Stelly, Erica Caines, and Dr. Peter James Hudson. Black Agenda Report poet-in-residence Raymond Nat Turner was also on the program, presenting his latest work. Contributing editor Ann Garrison, BAR Book Forum editor Roberto Sirvent, and other contributors joined the celebration. 

An event highlight was a video created by Tonya Rutherford, Glen Ford’s daughter, and produced by Jelani Fraser, honoring Ford and Dixon and providing context for the politics they both brought to Black Agenda Report. The evening reflected on the history of Black radical journalism, BAR’s role in that history, and how that journalism will continue into the future. 

This issue presents some of those remarks, and reprints of Glen Ford’s and Bruce Dixon’s work, along with our usual analysis on domestic and international events.
