Reclaiming Black and Indigenous History

As apart of the 2022 Supporting Excellence workshop hosted by the Macaulay Diversity Initiative, representatives from Macaulay Scholars Council will host a discussion room (Open to Students/Alumni only) following the main panel, aiming to raise awareness and recognize the land and labor that the United States was built on and how freedom for colonizers came at the oppression of Black and Indigenous peoples. The discussion room leaders will engage students in a dialogue about the true (not white-washed) history behind holidays such as Thanksgiving, Independence Day, as well as the importance of recognizing Indigenous People's Day rather than Columbus Day.

Participants will have the opportunity to learn about the Indigenous Land that they live on or go to school on, and will be able to discuss any attempts at progress in the past 10 years by the media, companies, and educational institutions of the true history and recognition of Black and Indigenous peoples.
