WE CAN’T BREATHE:
400 YEARS OF INSTITUTIONALIZED VIOLENCE
Virtual Teach-In and
Community Gathering for University of Puget Sound Campus and Community Partners
As our community’s response
to this moment with its heightened focus on the ongoing public killings of
Black people and renewed focus and the need for Radical Re-imagination in our
thinking on justice, racism, and the practices of white supremacy, we gather to
push for and to bring change. We gather to educate ourselves, to raise our
voices in protest, to stand in solidarity with Black people, to honor the
memories of those killed, to grieve, to mourn, to reflect, and to find our way
forward together.
Ours will be a virtual
community gathering in three phases, led by the faculty of African American
Studies, the Race & Pedagogy Institute, Puget Sound’s University Chaplain
Rev. Dave Wright, Vivie Nguyen, Director for Intercultural Engagement, and Professor Robin Jacobson, Faculty Senate Chair, in collaboration with a range of faculty and staff members and community partners. Each phase will last for 45 minutes.
Phase One will be educational and will feature a teach-in and discussion.
Phase Two will be a forum for protest and creation, to include creative
performance and action proposals.
Phase Three will be a time of spiritual centering and reflection to honor, to
grieve, to bear witness to those
who have been killed.
