“In this episode devoted to race and racism in independent schools, we speak with Aretina about how schools should “lean into being uncomfortable” when creating anti-racist spaces of belonging and how the Black@ movement provides school leaders with an opportunity to openly discuss the “whispers in the hallway.”

JSTOR Daily: The First Earthday

“Earth Day was the great achievement of Senator Gaylord Nelson of Wisconsin. ... Nelson was in his 50s, balding, a pillar of the establishment-yet he launched a mass protest. He found a way to join the power of the capital with the energy of the grassroots.”

“Earth Day was not just one event, and-despite the name-Earth Day did not happen only on April 22, 1970. In many places, the events lasted a week. A more accurate name would be Earth Spring, since some events were held in late March and early April. About fifteen hundred colleges held Earth Day teach-ins. So did roughly ten thousand schools.”

“Tens of thousands of people spoke at Earth Day events, and the involvement of so many speakers was a stunning achievement. Earth Day radically increased the number of participants in public discussion of environmental issues. In 1970, the nation had few renowned experts in the field. Yet Earth Day proved that many more people had something to say about the environmental crisis. Though the exact number of speakers is impossible to determine, 35,000 is a conservative estimate.”
