Throughout Ford Philanthropy’s 20-year partnership with the National Civil Rights Museum in Memphis, we’ve been continually inspired by their mission to share the culture and lessons from the American Civil Rights Movement. This Juneteenth marks our second year working together to remember and celebrate this important holiday with free admission to the museum. Check out the link below to learn more about the incredible work the museum is doing and how you can support its mission. #Juneteenth https://lnkd.in/ePXE2vCX

If confederate flags and monuments are truly about honoring "your" heritage, then certainly there must be a better way for "you" to do that without forcing "me" to honor "your" heritage too, especially if I consider confederate icons to be hate symbols. Maintaining confederate flags and monuments on courthouse grounds is forcing "me" to honor "your" heritage. More appropriate places to honor "your" heritage would be: museums, cemeteries, or "your" house. Walton County Board of County Commissioners

A really well done study. One major takeaway for any of us involved in evaluating grants or distributing grant money is the disproportionately high number of large budget organizations receiving the bulk of grants funding. This seems to be a recurring theme in other studies and we need to do better in getting to smaller and BIPOC organizations that are in need. #artsfunding #grants

If anything America and the World needs now, it is healing • Usually healing begins with an acknowledgement and apology of a action that has negatively impacted a person or group of people. • But how can a community truly heal in absence of changed behavior, attitude, or policies? • Healing through language doesn't always necessitate an apology. Instead, it embraces the strength of acknowledgment, understanding, and EMPATHY. It's about creating spaces where voices are heard and validated without the weight of unnecessary remorse. • Moreover, it entails using words that acknowledge pain, validate struggles, and offer genuine EMPATHY. It's about creating a safe environment where individuals feel heard, seen, and understood without the burden of expecting an apology for their feelings or experiences. • And sometimes saying, “I Apologize, please forgive me” can go a long way. •
