~Save the Date~ Black Solidarity Day

[Jennifer Bleaux]

*~~ Save the Date! ~~*

Monday, November 4, 2024, will be the third 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 a part of the SUNY Plattsburgh Academic Calendar, held annually on the
first Monday of November. In recognition of Black Solidarity Day, SUNY
Plattsburgh will host a Social Justice Teach-In, featuring programming for
the Plattsburgh and Queensbury community about racial justice, anti-racism,
and social justice.  It will be a series of concurrent events held all over
campus and in virtual online spaces, led by students, faculty, staff, and
community groups. Our theme for November 2024 has been selected by Black
Onyx: The Black Student Union and is, "Be the Change You Wish to See."

This is a day to meditate on the meaning of social justice and civic
engagement in our globally diverse world. Black Solidarity Day is meant "to
highlight racial injustices, societal inequities, and to illuminate how
Black voices are integral to American life" and our university community. *We
invite students, faculty, staff, and community members to contribute a
teach-in session that aligns directly to the theme for 2024, "Be the Change
You Wish to See" and that speaks to the meaning of Black Solidarity Day
and/or that engages with social justice, broadly defined.*
