Register today for the July 25 webinar, Monuments & Justice: Emmett Till and Mamie Till-Mobley National Monument hosted by the National Trust's African American Cultural Heritage Action Fund. The work to permanently protect, preserve, manage, and interpret Chicago’s Roberts Temple Church of God in Christ and Mississippi’s Graball Landing and Tallahatchie Courthouse as part of the new Emmett Till and Mamie Till-Mobley National Monument has profound meaning. Each heritage asset tells stories of racial violence, human worth, dignity, fairness under the law, grief, tragedy, and women-led activism. In a conversation led by renowned poet, scholar, and President of the Mellon Foundation, Dr. Elizabeth Alexander, we will explore the architecture of monument-making, the need for ethnic and cultural representation, and the role of historic preservation in fostering healing from racial trauma. This webinar is part of the Action Fund's Conversation Series, which will rebroadcast critical dialogues from our Cultural Preservation Leadership Summit held at the Ford Foundation's Center for Social Justice in New York City. Forum Webinars are currently free and open to the public. Register today: https://ow.ly/RQbi50SiLM0

We want to live in a truly inclusive, multi-racial democracy. But to get there, we must repair the ongoing racial harms brought by slavery and its legacy. For too long, the dominant narrative around reparations has been controlled by white supremacists who aren’t interested in transformative institutional and cultural change. But despite their divisive and fear-based claims, the movement toward racial repair will benefit us all.

We acknowledge the privilege to work & play on the traditional unceded territories of the Squamish & Lil’wat Nations, whose presence here stretches back beyond measure. On this National Day of Truth & Reconciliation, we reflect upon the profound injustices faced by Indigenous Peoples, historically & in the present. We recognize the deep wounds & the legacy of residential schools. We commit to listening, learning, & taking meaningful action towards reconciliation. In our role as REALTORS®, we are entrusted with the responsibility of guiding people through the process of buying & selling real estate - land. Land is more than just plots & properties; it's a tapestry of histories, cultures, & legacies. We recognize that this topic is delicate & complex. We don't claim to have answers, nor do we presume to understand the full depth of the pain & trauma associated with land dispossession. As we navigate this responsibility, & sensitive juxtaposition between our jobs & the legacies of the Squamish & Lil’wat People, we approach our work with humility, respect, & a commitment to ensuring that Indigenous voices are heard in conversations about ancestral lands. One of our key commitments is to engage with local Indigenous leaders when negotiating tracts of land that hold significance to their communities. We believe that working together is not just about consultation; it's about genuine partnership & mutual respect. We pledge to be allies in the journey. We invite you to join us in this commitment & learn about the Indigenous History of this area through the Matterport Virtual Tour Archive of UNCEDED - A Gallery at the Squamish Lil’wat Cultural Centre. Click the Link https://lnkd.in/gMA5hKkD You will surely recognize some important local landmarks & remarkable opportunity to experience them through a different lens.

From coast to coast—and in Santa Clara County—America’s nonprofit arts and culture organizations are providing inspiration and joy to residents, beautifying public spaces, and strengthening community pride and identity. Arts and culture organizations are also businesses. They employ people locally, purchase goods and services from nearby businesses, and produce the authentic cultural experiences that are magnets for visitors, tourists, and new residents. Arts and Economic Prosperity 6 (AEP6) provides compelling evidence that the nonprofit arts and culture sector is a significant industry in Santa Clara County—one that generated $384.5 million in total economic activity during 2022. This study sends a strong signal that, even in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting recession, the nonprofit arts and culture is a formidable industry. AEP6 demonstrates that when we support the arts, we are investing in Santa Clara County’s economic and community well-being. Read more: https://bit.ly/3MuyMzL.

Thigpen, K. (2023). Restoring Justice on Their Terms: The Path to Healing for Tulsa and Birmingham (Doctoral dissertation, The University of Alabama at Birmingham). ABSTRACT: This thesis is a comparative case study examining the impact of the Tulsa Race Massacre in 1921 and the Birmingham Sixteenth Street Church Bombing in 1963. The comparative case study method aims to study how both communities educated the public about racial violence through the nonprofit sector. This research explores the racial structures that were in place during the time. This thesis argues for the role of the government in providing diversity, equity, accessibility, and inclusion training for federal employees. This research also discusses the government's contribution to advancing social equity. Keywords: racial violence, social equity, nonprofit sector, systemic racism * I’m a keynote speaker, lecturer, organizer, and research analyst fervent about developing communities where everyone flourishes. * Please share and magnify the discussion if you find this post intuitive. * Follow me and tap the bell on my profile to subscribe to my content. #rcg #reparations #researchanalyst #recruitmentmarketing #thoughtleader #culturalstrategies #culturalcompetencytraining #historicalservices #justice

Happy Juneteenth! Today, we join millions across the nation in commemorating Juneteenth, a pivotal moment in American history that marks the end of slavery in the United States. This day, also known as #FreedomDay or #EmancipationDay, is a celebration and reminder of resilience, liberation, and the enduring fight for justice and equality. HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE On June 19, 1865, Union General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas, and announced the end of the Civil War and the emancipation of all enslaved people, two and a half years after President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation. WHY JUNETEENTH MATTERS Juneteenth is more than a historical milestone; it is a call to action. It underscores the importance of acknowledging the past, understanding the systemic injustices that persist, and committing to the ongoing struggle for racial equity. For the construction industry, it is a time to reflect on our practices and policies to ensure they foster diversity, equity, and inclusion (#DEI).

Higher education professional who finds a deep passion in policy change in pursuit of student equity.
Save the Date: Friday, May 3, 2024 Santa Rosa Junior College and North Bay Organizing Projects 8th Annual We the Future Social Justice Conference! We invite you to consider participating by hosting a conference session, and/or an information table. The Key Note Speaker is Dr. César Cruz Education Activist, Author, School Designer & Co-Founder of Homies Empowerment. The Key Note will begin at 9am, and breakout sessions will be offered at 10:45 and noon. Information Tabling and Lunch will follow at 1pm. This year’s theme, “Community Power and Collaboration: Building Alliances for Land Justice,” focuses on land theft as a product of settler colonial, white supremacy impacting the trajectory of generations of Black, Indigenous, Persons of Color, globally. However, rather than a narrative of displacement and oppression, our conference will explore the unbroken resistance to colonialism. Sessions will focus on various ways indigenous people have survived in the face of oppression and attempted genocide and what that resistance can teach other allied movements against dehumanization and theft. Conference sessions will cover topics such as using ancestral knowledge for sustaining a relationship with the land, languages, and traditions as well as discussions of equitable access to healthcare and education. Together, we will analyze current movements, proposals, and land use policies with a critical lens towards land justice. There will be opportunities to learn about current calls for land justice, and land back coalition building, as well as efforts to steward the land and support environmental education. If you are interested in hosting a table, or a conference session please fill out this form. https://shorturl.at/dmoK9 If you have questions, please reach out to the team at OurHouse@santarosa.edu.
