Students and Staff Engage in Conversations As Part of Black History Month
This week, students gathered for their Advisor meetings and had the opportunity to participate in open discussions based on themes and resources related to Black History Month. Individual groups reviewed materials based on a variety of topics from performative activism to the erasure of racial history and experience to intersectionality, and more. Not only did the materials cover a range of topics, but these videos were also selected to offer different points of engagement and entry into larger conversations about race, racism, and history.
Some of the materials explored this week, include:
- The 28 Moments of Black Canadian History Project (2 min)
- Kids Explain Black History Month (2 min)
- Say My Name (14 min)
- The LCS DEI Club's recent videos about Performative Activism (4 short videos - 5 min total)
- An excerpt from Ibram X. Kendi’s, The American Nightmare
- Kimberlé Crenshaw’s Ted Talk: The Urgency of Intersectionality (19 min)
