Module 4: Collective Recovery
Introduction to Module 4
[Video]: Hello and welcome to Part 2 of the 400 Years of Inequality Online Course. My name is Ashley Bernal and I am a member of the 400 years of Inequality National Organizing Committee. Thank you for joining us.
In Part 1, we introduced the 400 Years of Inequality Initiative and shared the call for observances of the anniversary of Jamestown. We also explained how these observances might illuminate the ecology of inequality formed by the intersecting forms of segregation and discrimination that divide us from each other and entrench lies of natural supremacy.
The activities in the first three modules helped locate us in the history of inequality. Now that we are familiar with the foundations of the 400 Years of Inequality initiative we can begin planning our anniversary observances.
I want to underscore that the call to observance does not determine what events and places you will acknowledge in your observance. This is your story to tell and you must do so in the place and manner appropriate for you and your collaborators. However, by explicitly linking our distinct observances to the history of inequality we contribute to a larger conversation about inequality and come together to refuse to have things continue as they are.
