Episode 4: It's time to #makemultiracialofficial.
Manage episode 398132232 series 3521520
With a key decision just months away about whether Multiracial with a capital “M” will be officially recognized by the United States government, 2024 must be a year of advocacy for the Multiracial identity.
In episode 4, Robert wraps up his talk with Susan Graham of Project RACE about the beginnings of the Multiracial rights movement and about the last time the infamous Directive 15 was under review: the years leading up to the 2000 census.
Susan shares some of the experience and knowledge she’s gained during her over 30 year fight, on the local and national level, to make Multiracial official. Knowledge and experience that informs the current advocacy and that can benefit any important cause working to affect change in government.
Multiracial Heritage Week is June 7th thru the 14th with Loving Day falling on the 12th. It’ll be here before we know it, but we do have time to come together as a community and advocate for ourselves and our children.
