[LIBRARYDIR] [EXT] Anti-Blackness Solidarity

[Koshi-Lum, Jessica]

Hi Greg,

I'd be happy to help out in this respect. A large part of my professional interests has been centered on on racial equity in libraries. Thanks for bringing this up.

Hello all.



After participating in the protest today, I am wondering how each of you are feeling about your library and your school and their commitment to anti-blackness and anti-racist practices.



I am also wondering if there is anything the Library Leadership Council would be interested in doing in solidarity—issuing a statement, thinking about practices, engaging in conversations with staff, or something else entirely.



I write this pretty late on a Saturday, I realize, and am not expecting any immediate responses—but I am “fired up” (as they say) and would love to work with others who are as well.



Be safe, and thank you for considering,



Greg
