We are part of a society\u00a0where\u00a0Black, Indigenous, and People of Color continue to be impacted by institutional racism.<\/p>\n
We aspire to be part of a college where we are no longer complacent or complicit.<\/p>\n
We pledge to include contributions of nonwhite scholars in the curriculum.<\/p>\n
We pledge to denounce colorblind philosophies which aim to demean the historical role of race in America.<\/p>\n
We pledge to dedicate SSSW resources to planning and promoting extra-curricular opportunities for students to understand oppression.<\/p>\n
We aspire to support our students, faculty, and staff of color in our struggles against racist and anti-black\u00a0practices and policies within and outside of our institution.<\/p>\n
We ask you to join us.<\/p>\n
In the Fall of 2019, SSSW launched\u00a0Conversations on Race<\/i>.\u00a0 In that series, we tackled race and the law; race and the politics of 2020; W.E.B. Du Bois and Booker T. Washington; the legacy of Jim Crow; the complexities of hip hop; history of blackface; and media coverage of race in America, and also held a speaker series on Driving While Black in New Jersey.\u00a0 We hope you will join us in 2020-2021 where we will discuss:\u00a0Black\u00a0Lives\u00a0Matter; defunding the police; whiteness as property; and voting rights.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
