#BlackLivesMatter - Say it loud

Remote learning. Distance learning. Online learning. Whatever you want to call, when students are not on campus for classes has been trying for students, faculty, and staff at educational institutions.
I really feel for departments like EOPS, tutoring, and counseling. In-person is just so much better to keep track of and support a student. Also, I can't say enough good things about the school I work for in adapting to this new reality. I also can't express my annoyance with lack of leadership from our district. But this post is not about that...it is about making displays during COVID.
On June 9th CCC did a caravan/protest for racial justice. https://www.contracosta.edu/2020/06/09/ccc-leads-hundreds-in-racial-justice-caravan/

There were a lot of great signs that people made and taking a page out of the archivist playbook, asked participants to donate the signs for a display and to be part of an archive I am putting together as part of the school's history. A colleague who works at a sister college is managing an oral history of life at their school during the Coronavirus. Another great idea.

Stay safe and Black Lives Matter.
