WITH VIDEO this time! Diving into the history of Route 66 and the Green Book is a critical step for those of us attending AM66 to take, because the conversation will not only uncover a critical piece of American history but also provides an opportunity for reflection on how we can integrate these lessons into our entire lives, and by extension, our professional life. At this incredible event orchestrated by the most amazing Tanya Blackwell and Sybile Bayiha at AM66, we'll explore this story's deep connections to today's challenges in research administration, focusing on creating diverse, equitable, and inclusive work environments that are true safe spaces. The story of Route 66 is a powerful reminder of resilience and the need for systemic change. This session will draw parallels between historical strategies used to navigate segregation and discrimination and modern strategies we can employ to enhance our professional communities. The goal is to learn from struggles faced by members of our community in the past and present, acknowledge the system of oppression that continues to influence and impact all of us, and incorporate the wisdom of those who have faced these challenges before to guide us on our own journey. Join us as we delve into how understanding our history can inspire and inform our career trajectories and lead to more inclusive professional practices. Mark your calendars for this enlightening discussion, and be prepared to engage in a transformative conversation that promises not just to educate but to inspire action within our field and beyond.

During this session, participants will explore how the history and stories of Route 66 can inform and inspire their career journeys. We will draw parallels between the strategies used by black Americans to overcome segregation and discrimination and the strategies we can employ to create a diverse, equitable, and inclusive environment in our profession.

⚔️ Arms vs Brothers 🫂 What a striking difference a few decades have made to The Americas 🌎 Kennedy ✅ - Saw Americans as a region; - Spoke "in hemispheres" when addressing neighbours; - Built "bridges" between North & South; - Recognized challenges and laid out proposed solutions; - The 1st lady does speeches in Spanish and is remembered in movies to this day; ** Sure, we all know about his political position on the "threats of the day" and his personal life. But that's just politics and life. Trump / Biden ❌ (does it matter, really?) - Speaks of America "first" or whatever that means; - Speaks with arrogance or apathy when addressing neighbours; - Building walls (literally) and drones between North & South; - Biden barely recognizes himself; Trump recognizes nobody - but himself - as worthy; - The 1st lady does.. we can just stop here. What happened there? "Victory has a thousand fathers, but defeat is an orphan." -- John F.

John F. Kennedy’s reflection on the human connection to the sea encapsulates the profound significance of the Maritime Industry in our collective consciousness.   His words underscore the deep-rooted ties that bind us to the ocean.   Kennedy’s words highlight the fundamental role of the maritime industry in shaping human history & serve as poignant reminder of the significance of ships as a mode of transport & how seaborne commerce helped humanity evolve at an accelerated pace.

It’s important for our communities to recognize and celebrate the diverse histories and cultures that have contributed to our nation. And one day of profound historical significance and celebration is Juneteenth. In this article, we’ll explore the history of Juneteenth, why it’s important and why we celebrate it.

We believe the more people know about their community’s past, the more interested they will be in its present and the more invested they will be in its future. We believe that historical societies must do more than honor the past; they must also serve as gathering places where communities discuss their present and their future. Most of all, we believe in St. Louis. We believe St. Louis is one of the most fascinating places in the world; that American history can be better understood and appreciated when told through the lens of St. Louis; and that St. Louis’s richness, diversity, and complexity make its story meaningful, memorable, and unique. In the decade ahead, we will roll out a series of projects that will introduce visitors to a St. Louis they have never met. We invite you to learn about, share in, and plan these initiatives alongside us. Together, we will build a stronger St. Louis. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gTKZ9Y7j
