Folks throughout Arabella’s communities—both within our walls and among our partners—are celebrating #Juneteenth today. Juneteenth is the commemoration of the emancipation of enslaved Black Americans in Texas. Originating with the first celebration in Galveston in 1865, Juneteenth became a federal holiday on June 17, 2021 with the signing of the Juneteenth National Independence Day Act. For many Black Americans whose roots extend throughout the diaspora, Juneteenth serves as a day of remembrance to honor the legacies of those past as well as the long (and ongoing) journey toward liberation. Today, Arabella is urging our staff to deepen their learning about this holiday and the many nuances that surround it. If you’re so inclined to continue exploring the roots of Juneteenth and its rich history, feel free to check out these resources (courtesy of Clarissa Harris, Arabella’s director of equity and belonging): Juneteenth Reading List | National Museum of African American History and Culture: https://lnkd.in/g2zs285A Juneteenth Digital Toolkit | National Museum of African American History and Culture: https://lnkd.in/e8ecCSrz “Our Father Taught Us To Love Ourself": Remembering The Man Who Brought Juneteenth To San Diego: https://lnkd.in/e-aMB7tP What Juneteenth Means on a President’s Plantation | by Crystal A. deGregory, PhD | Crystal deGregory Ph.D. | Medium: https://lnkd.in/eHVukPGu A beginner’s guide to celebrating Juneteenth | PBS News: https://lnkd.in/gpZmcNFb The Celebration of Juneteenth in Ralph Ellison’s “Juneteenth” | The New Yorker: https://lnkd.in/ePBktSp8

An important survey...
Writer, poet, speaker; equity, diversity & inclusion consultant. Co-director of The Inclusion Agency.
There's still time to have a say, until the end of the month: Is your cultural heritage misrepresented by British museums? Are you represented in them at all? Do you want to be a part of how the cultural heritage of racially minoritised people is presented and communicated, with respect and celebration? Then this is your time to have a say! The UnMuseum Project, funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund, is an exploration into what a cultural heritage space would look like if it was built by and for Black and Racially Minoritised communities in the South West of England. With you, we want to change the landscape of cultural heritage in our region, but to do so we need your voices! This survey is a chance for you to shape how your people's histories and cultures are represented in a dedicated Centre for Black and Brown Culture - a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Take a few minutes from your day to help change the future of the South West! https://lnkd.in/eChWSFQJ

🎉 Next month marks the 70th anniversary of the landmark Brown v. Board of Education decision, a pivotal moment in the fight for civil rights and equality in education. While this decision aimed to dismantle the "separate but equal" doctrine, its legacy is complex and far-reaching. I recently had the pleasure of teaching my students about this intricate legacy during our February Black History Month culture and diversity lessons. The immediate backlash following the decision led to the unjust removal of educators of color from the education industry for decades, perpetuating systemic racism and inequality. This is most evident in the persistent lack of diversity within the education sector. Before Brown v Board of Education, there were thousands of highly qualified Black and Brown teachers in segregated schools across the nation. However, following the decision, many of these schools were shut down, and there was a nationwide mass firing of Black and Brown educators. Despite their equal or even superior qualifications, they were often not hired in the newly integrated schools. Some districts even refused to integrate and instead closed all their schools for a few years. As with many aspects of society, representation matters. The absence of educators of color likely discouraged students of color from pursuing education degrees, further exacerbating the lack of diversity in the profession. This vicious cycle has been perpetuated for 70 years. As we celebrate progress, it's crucial to acknowledge and confront the ongoing echoes of this racist backlash that still reverberate today. Let's honor this anniversary by learning and sharing the accurate history, while also reaffirming our commitment to creating inclusive and equitable educational environments for all. #BrownvBoard #CivilRights #InclusiveEducation #EducationForAll 📚✊🏾
Join us on May 17, as we celebrate the 70th anniversary of Brown v. Board of Education in partnership with the National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC). "The NAACP looks forward to reflecting and connecting with fearless trailblazers like the Little Rock Nine while convening some of our nation's brightest minds to re-energize and gear up for what's to come." — Derrick Johnson, NAACP President and CEO RSVP today: https://bit.ly/4aDoo2p Collection of the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture, © Ernest C.

Ten years ago today, I joined 9/11 family members, rescue and recovery workers, and survivors, to dedicate the 9/11 Memorial & Museum. Today it stands as a permanent reminder of those killed, and the service, bravery, and compassion of those who stood together in unity during those dark hours. The 9/11 Memorial Museum preserves an essential moment in our history for future generations, ensuring that we will never forget. Join me in visiting the #911Museum, which will now offer free admission to New Yorkers on the first Monday of each month beginning June 3.
