The Office of Equity, Inclusion, and Social Justice invites you to Juneteenth 2020 at The New School. Juneteenth 2020 comes at a time when the very question of freedom for Black people is challenged by the persistence of institutionalized racism in the United States. And while the struggle for freedom also persists, our collective response must take many forms. Our resistance on Juneteenth comes in the form of a recognition and reclamation day to center the experience of Black people through teach-ins, and to offer tools of healing, support, and community building that focus on our physical and mental health.
Juneteenth 2020 at The New School is one day of events and programming, but the work to ensure equity, inclusion, and social justice is an ongoing endeavor. Please be sure to consult the Office of Equity, Inclusion, and Social Justice website for policy and strategy related to our Campus Climate Assessment to help lead us forward.
This Juneteenth event will feature live captioning and ASL interpretation. Please contact us via email if you need additional accommodations.
Presented by the Office of Equity, Inclusion, and Social Justice at The New School.

A talk examining the price James Baldwin understood Americans must pay to "achieve our country" and true liberation. The cost is an unflinching look back at the history we have produced, and an ongoing commitment (“forever and forever!”) to confront and remake it.
Presented by Rich Blint, assistant professor of literature in the department of Literary Studies, director of the program in Race and Ethnicity, and affiliate faculty in gender studies at the Eugene Lang College of Liberal Arts.

The trauma that Black and Brown people experience specifically, is compounded, constant, and complex. Building a new world requires a deep reworking and reimagining of our relationships to each other and to the spaces we occupy. We must take ownership over our own healing to sustain the work we do. In this workshop, DreamYard Teaching Artist, Berry, will lead participants through a writing exercise that helps us take our healing into our own hands.

The historical onslaught and contemporary manifestations of the racialized violence that we are experiencing is impacting our mental health and wellness and reshaping our lives. Many of us experience heightened anxiety in our families, local and global communities; social and physical disconnection from others; a questioning of our sense of self and place in the world. This dialogue will explore key factors for understanding the psychological impact and resilience associated with racialized violence and provide strategies to develop and remain emotionally and mentally healthy.
Presented by Dr. Andraé L. Brown, PhD, Heru Consulting
