This summer, I took it upon myself to research Black people and events who have shaped our history.
I came to recognize that my own understanding was extremely white-washed and decided to reclaim my education on Black history topics. In order to keep my research organized, I started researching alphabetically. The goal of my project was to educate myself as well as others.

While at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, I’ve made great friends, gotten a fantastic education, and enjoyed being active on campus. I love my school, however UW-Madison still has a long way to go in dealing with the systemic racism institutionalized on campus. I compiled information on the diversity makeup and history of the university to educate and inform in the hopes that the university will progress and become more inclusive.
