Normally our June newsletter features our last faculty interview before the close of registration at the end of the month. But this is not a normal year and we feel it would be a disservice to those fighting for justice to pretend as such. MCWC supports the goal of creating an anti-racist society, and we are committed to listening to and learning from all voices working towards that goal.
We believe writing and reading are powerful methods of processing, expressing feelings, and fostering the internal change that is necessary for societal change. If you have not already done so, we encourage you to educate yourself using resources such as these:
Anti-racist reading list compiled by Ibram X. Kendi in the New York Times
Anti-racist reading list for all ages from Vroman’s Bookstore
Please also consider donating to one of the black literary organizations on this list compiled by our Social Media Manager, Adriane Tharp: https://twitter.com/MCWConf/status/1269003529974280193
