This is why a majority of states have changed Columbus Day to Indigenous Peoples’ Day. google.com/url?q=https://…

Happy Indigenous Peoples’ Day! Today is an important day “meant to recognize the painful history Indigenous people have faced and to celebrate their communities.” -Nick Tilsen (president and CEO of NDN Collective) abc7chicago.com/amp/indigenous… (Pt. 1)

Happy Yom Kippur! We hope everyone celebrating has a great fast.

Happy National Voter Registration Day! Be sure to register; your vote matters! google.com/gasearch?q=nat…

Seeing as it is back to school season, we would like to remind everyone of an important quote by Nelson Mandela to keep in mind this year: “Education is the most powerful weapon you can use to change the world.” Happy learning!

The state says that because the AP course is currently a pilot, "it may not meet graduation requirements and does not comply with the rules of the department’s AP program like other vetted” courses. nbcnews.com/news/nbcblk/ar…

The Supreme Court ruling on affirmative action could have ramifications for businesses and their diversity efforts, possibly setting the stage for future challenges to such programs. nyti.ms/3Nys6A3

Happy Juneteenth everyone!

Quotes from the movie 13th that stuck out pt.2 “The U.S. has a prison population of 2.3 million, which is the highest incarceration rate in the world!” “The lifetime likelihood of imprisonment for white men is 1 in 17, yet for black men it is 1 in 3”

Quotes from the movie 13th that stuck out pt.1 “The United States is home to 5% of the world’s population, yet has 25% of the worlds inmates” meaning 1/4 of the world’s population are locked up in the U.S.

Highly recommend watching 13th on Netflix to better understand ECOC’s mission to dismantle the cradle-to-prison pipeline.
