BOOM! 2021: Community Day
Channel: Mount Holyoke College
Date: 2021-03-23

In this dialogue, President Sonya Stephens and Vice President Kijua Sanders-McMurtry discuss the College’s efforts towards becoming an anti-racist community with a specific focus on their own racialized experiences and studies. It is recommended that viewers first watch this discussion on race in American and anti-racism with Ibram X. Kendi and Robin DiAngelo in conversation with Gayle King (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=POnUfzVP5uI), which President Stephens and Vice President Sanders-McMurtry evoke.

Viewers may also wish to review the College’s Anti Racism Action Plan and its progress (https://www.mtholyoke.edu/president/anti-racism-plan-action), and the student-led and created Mount Holyoke College Archives and Special Collections exhibition “Demonstration, Exposition, Exhibition: A View Of Mount Holyoke Student Activism.”(https://ascdc.mtholyoke.edu/exhibits/show/student-activism-at-mount-holy/an-overview)
