Intersectionality: Resources and program sharing for Black Lives Matter, National Indigenous History Month (Canada) and Pride Month
The Black Lives Matter movement is at the core of our collective consciousness right now, and we here at #LISprochat adamantly support the cause. In addition to BLM programming June was already usually a big month for library programs with it being both international Pride month and Canada's National Indigenous History Month. So Leigh and I thought we'd brainstorm programming ideas and resources for discussing BLM, National Indigenous History Month, and Pride month with our library users. We've decided to re-frame this conversation to look at these three important topics from an intersectional perspective. We acknowledge they are all important topics deserving of individual chats in their own right, but having intersectional conversations is equally important.
Here's some pre-chat reading on the subject:
