‘Ook ik ben Harvard’, opvallende actie voor erkennen van meer kleur op de universiteit

Er was de voorbije week discussie rond een nieuwe video die Antwerpen promootte (met Happy tegenreactie) Er was ook nog een andere, meer heftige discussie, in Nederland dan. Ook de universiteit van Harvard ligt in een nieuwe campagne onder vuur: I, Too, Am Harvard

“A photo campaign highlighting the faces and voices of black students at Harvard College. Our voices often go unheard on this campus, our experiences are devalued, our presence is questioned– this project is our way of speaking back, of claiming this campus, of standing up to say: We are here. This place is ours. We, TOO, are Harvard. The #itooamharvard photo campaign is inspired by I, Too, Am Harvard, a play based on interviews with members of the black community exploring and affirming our diverse experiences as black students at Harvard College. The original play premieres on Friday March 7th, 2014 at 7 PM in Lowell Lecture Hall on the campus of Harvard College. facebook.com/itooamharvard @iTooAmHarvard #itooamharvard”
