When Edward Thomas, Sc카지노 게임 컬렉션06, MASc카지노 게임 컬렉션12, learned that the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s School of Medicine had banned all 15 of its black students 100 years ago, his instinct was to learn more about those students.
A veteran journalist who now serves as Assistant Director of Industry Partnerships at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s, Thomas first discovered the story while conducting research for the Principal카지노 게임 컬렉션s Implementation Committee on Racism, Diversity, and Inclusion (PICRDI). 카지노 게임 컬렉션I became curious and I decided to roll up my sleeves and investigate a little further,카지노 게임 컬렉션 he says.
What he learned 카지노 게임 컬렉션 through hours of sifting through public documents and the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s Archives -- is that the students didn카지노 게임 컬렉션t let the expulsion stop them from living productive, and in many cases, extraordinary lives. 카지노 게임 컬렉션They endured something very painful and difficult and many of them went on to become prominent physicians and social and political leaders,카지노 게임 컬렉션 he says. 카지노 게임 컬렉션They demonstrated incredible resilience.카지노 게임 컬렉션
Resilience just happens to be the theme of this year카지노 게임 컬렉션s Black History Month activities at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s. 카지노 게임 컬렉션A common theme for a lot of black people is learning from our experiences and growing and developing in the face of oppression,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Asha Gordon, Artsci카지노 게임 컬렉션18, President of the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s Black Academic Society (QBAS). 카지노 게임 컬렉션Resilience is an important part of who we are.카지노 게임 컬렉션
카지노 게임 컬렉션We chose it as our theme because black people haven카지노 게임 컬렉션t always had the easiest time, but we seem to come out of our struggles stronger,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Elorm Vowotor, Artsci카지노 게임 컬렉션18, President of the African Caribbean Students Association (ACSA).
As part of its Black History Month celebrations, ACSA has invited Thomas to explore the resilience theme by sharing the fruits of his research and telling the students카지노 게임 컬렉션 stories on the 100th anniversary of their expulsion. 카지노 게임 컬렉션It is historically important that we카지노 게임 컬렉션re doing this under the auspices of ACSA,카지노 게임 컬렉션 Thomas says, explaining that ACSA카지노 게임 컬렉션s predecessor, the West Indies Club, was one of the few organizations on campus to take up the students카지노 게임 컬렉션 cause.
Thomas says he looks forward to sharing what he카지노 게임 컬렉션s learned. 카지노 게임 컬렉션These people are superb role models. They lived extraordinary lives,카지노 게임 컬렉션 he says. 카지노 게임 컬렉션I think people will be surprised when they hear some of their stories.카지노 게임 컬렉션
His presentation is slated for Thursday, February 15th at 6:00 p.m. at Robert Sutherland Hall (check the Queen's Black Academic Society for details).
Black History Month 2018 activities at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s were supported by the Deputy Provost (Academic Operations and Inclusion) and the Alma Mater Society. Funding was provided to and to help foster diversity and inclusion within the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s community, in keeping with the 2017 Principal카지노 게임 컬렉션s Implementation Committee on Racism, Diversity, and Inclusivity (PICRDI) final report.
