Green Dot Public Schools California’s Post

Our third and final Spring lecture - "Eclectic and Independent: Black Self-Advocacy Strategies, 1870 to 1930" - will take place next week on Thursday, June 6th at Rosecliff Mansion. This is the third in a series of lectures in conjunction with our latest exhibition “Gilded Age Newport in Color” produced in partnership with Rhode Island Black Heritage Society. Conventional narratives of Black politics in the late 19th and early 20th centuries tend to focus on two ideological choices: (1) Republican vs. Democrat, with African Americans siding with the party of Lincoln; and (2) (Booker T.) Washingtonian vs. DuBoisian, with African Americans preferring one of the two. Yet in Newport, there is evidence of a more idiosyncratic, localized and broader set of political strategies promoted by local Black leaders. Bard College Professor Dr. Myra Armstead will set forth the menu of options pursued by Black Newporters who gave their own meaning to what collectively may be called independent politics. This lecture will be hosted live in person and via Zoom video conference. Tickets and info available here -> https://lnkd.in/e_BCQvEe

Report Now Available: Key Findings - Top Concerns of Black Minnesotans: https://bit.ly/3HGsH06 “In 2023, the African American Leadership Forum conducted several statewide surveys to gauge the concerns and interests of Black Minnesotans, which will direct the Forum's research in uncovering transformative, Black-centered solutions. This initial data set is uniquely reflective of the diversity of our communities, across age, geography, income level, and more. We look forward to how these research findings will lay the foundation for the Forum's new trajectory as a data-driven, research-empowered think-and-do tank.” – Amber Jones, Forum Managing Director: Policy Impact Throughout February and March, we’ll be sharing an expanded series of reports diving deeper into household responses summarized within this initial topline report. Findings will inform The Forum's 2024 policy priorities, and development of the organization’s first-annual Black Agenda for Change, heading into the upcoming legislative session.

This paper from The Chisholm Legacy Project: A Resource Hub for Black Frontline Climate Justice Leadership lays out the myriad of ways that Black communities are differentially impacted by the perpetrators of climate change, while also demonstrating that Black communities are leading holistic, comprehensive areas of focus and approaches necessary to advance a Just Transition. By laying out the content in categories reflecting issue areas, as well as diverse approaches, this lengthy yet merely illustrative list demonstrates that it’s not just what we do; it is also how we do it.
