Black History Month webinars available online

The best way to be anti-racist is to be culturally proficient, said Shelley Jones-Holt, founder/CEO of Leadership Legacy Consulting, "Recognize that everybody has a different story. Everyone needs to be treated individually."

LeChé McGill and the UC ANR Black and Allied Employee Resource Group organized an outstanding, thought-provoking series of virtual events for Black History Month. 

Shelley Jones-Holt, Imani Mitchell, Sonia Lewis and our own Mary Blackburn delivered presentations for ANR employees about the history behind critical race theory, the complexities of Black representation in film and the ongoing struggle to secure voting rights. The first two webinars are posted on the Learning and Development Website and the third will be posted soon.
