The Office of Diversity and Inclusion and the History Museum at the Castle would like to remind members of the Lawrence University community that they are invited to join us for the next Cultural Competency Lecture. This panel webinar “Stone of Hope: Black Experiences in the Fox Cities,” takes place on February 25, 2021, 11:30am-1:00pm CST via ZOOM. The “Stone of Hope: Black Experiences in the Fox Cities” pop-up museum is a collaboration between African Heritage, Inc. and the History Museum at the Castle. It is available online and on display at the Warch Center during February 2021. The panelists will discuss bias, trust, inclusive history and highlight Appleton as a case moving through the 1700s to the present. This panel will share essential research findings and lessons from the “Stone of Hope” regarding how to uncover erased histories of Black experiences, sundown towns, restrictive covenants, the struggle to keep from being re-marginalized, and more.
