November 6th will be the second year in which Black Solidarity Day
<https://www.plattsburgh.edu/news/news-archive/black-solidarity-day-officially-added-to-suny-plattsburghs-academic-calendar.html>
is part of the SUNY Plattsburgh Academic Calendar, held annually on the
first Monday of November. In recognition of Black Solidarity Day, our
campus will host a Social Justice Teach-In, featuring programming for the
Plattsburgh community about racial justice, anti-racism, and social
justice.  It will be a series of concurrent events, led by students, staff,
faculty, and community groups, held all over campus. The theme for this
year is: "You Belong: Let's Erase the Hate."



This is a day to meditate on the meaning of social justice and civic
engagement in what could be a multi-racial democracy. Black Solidarity Day
is meant "to highlight racial injustices, societal inequities, and to
illuminate how Black voices are integral to American life

and our college community. We invite students, faculty, staff, and
community members to contribute a teach-in session that speaks directly to
the meaning of Black Solidarity Day and/or that engages with social
justice, broadly defined.


A session could be a variety of things: a collection of readings, a few
lectures, a workshop, an exercise, a performance, a discussion. Here
is the program
for 2022

if you'd like to see what we have done in the past.  If you need more than
50 minutes, that's fine as well.


Please talk with your friends, mentors, and colleagues, and then propose a
session. Student-led sessions are welcome! The deadline for proposals is
September 30th.
