One week ago today, it was #WorldSocialJusticeDay! In honor of that day, especially considering it occurs during Black History Month, we want to shine a spotlight on an often mischaracterized and, subsequently, misunderstood group and movement in the U.S. — the Black Panther Party (BPP)! More often than not, the BPP was mischaracterized as comprised of anti-White Black militants; however, in reality, the BPP was a working-class youth-led movement that supported multiracial coalition building; supported their communities with equity-promoting Survival Programs, which provided free food, healthcare, and voter registration drives; promoted self-determination; and established schools in 9 different cities. Additionally, their vision extended beyond the national level. They saw the issues Black Americans have been forced to endure and face as connected to an African decolonization and global liberation movement. For example, Co-Founder Huey P. Newton drew comparisons between the Black American experience and the experience of colonized peoples, such as the Vietnamese. “It is our duty to fight for our freedom. It is our duty to win. We must love and protect one another. We have nothing to lose but our chains.” — Assata Shakur https://lnkd.in/gcc-qZaS #blackhistorymonth #blackhistory #blackexcellence #blackgirlmagic #historic #history #justice #socialimpact #socialjustice #education #educational #blackpower #blackpride #blackpanther #blackpanthers #blackpantherparty #coalition #coalitionbuilding #equity #food #healthcare #voterregistration #votereducation #national #global #colonialism #colonization #racism #decolonization #decolonize #liberation #freedom #breakthechains #love #protection #support #community #communitybuilding #communityengagement #communityhealth #communitydevelopment #communityempowerment #empowerment #empowering #pride

On this day in Black history: The United States Congress passed the Civil Rights Act of 1866, which was a landmark piece of legislation aimed at protecting the rights and liberties of newly freed African Americans following the abolition of slavery. This act was a significant step towards ensuring the civil rights and legal protections of African Americans, as it provided them with the right to make and enforce contracts, sue and be sued, give evidence in court, and enjoy the full protection of the law. While the Civil Rights Act of 1866 represented an important milestone in the quest for equality, it would take further legislation, such as the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965, to address the persistent racial discrimination and segregation that persisted in the United States. #blackhistory #blackhistoryfact #blackyouth #blackstudents #blackhistoryproject #youth #florida #youthinflorida #civilrights #civilrightsleaders #empowermentbrunch #youthempowerment #onthisdayinblackhistory #civilrightsact #1866

"Despite human rights being protected by federal, provincial and territorial laws, racist and discriminatory stereotypes about people of African Descent permeate contemporary society and disproportionally impact the social, economic, educational, and health outcomes of Black men, women and children. Whether they are descendants of those who were enslaved or recent immigrants, people of African Descent are united by a shared, lived experience with anti-Black racism. It is within this tension that the Hamilton Community Legal Clinic launched Together We Rise (TWR)!" Read more about Together We Rise and the work they do here: https://lnkd.in/gU_BrN5r

Check out this thought-provoking article challenging the misconception that DE&I is unfair. Embracing Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion isn't about favoritism; it's about creating opportunities for all and fostering a more just and innovative workplace. Let's keep the conversation going! #DEIBenefitsEveryone
In light of a Federal judge's ruling yesterday in Texas that the Minority Business Development Agency must serve white people, too, we're sharing a classic blog post on the concept of unfairness in diversity, equity, and inclusion work. Feelings of unfairness related to racial equity work often translate into the idea of "reverse racism," which ignores the structural racism that permeates every dimension of American society. The fallacy of reverse racism is what many of the recent legal challenges to DEI work are built on, and unfortunately those challenges only serve to reverse the progress made through civil rights initiatives. But, it's possible to move beyond this thinking toward a more nuanced understanding of systemic inequities, identity, and privilege. Read on to learn more.
