BANNER VIRTUAL STUDIES PROGRAM.png

Diaspora Travel Program:

We Re-Member participants will travel through an African-Diasporic Journey to designated locations and trace “the passage” from 1) capture and enslavement 2) the Prison Industrial Complex (PIC), 3) forced assimilation, and 4) resistance and healing efforts.
Upon the conclusion of their journey, participants will understand the legacy of chattel slavery,
will be able to assess the ways people were harmed throughout the African Diaspora, and will
be positioned to have an educated conversation on the outstanding healing/reparations that
needs to occur to achieve equity.

This 15-week virtual course travel studies course takes participants to Cultural Yards.  Resistance Sites, Maroon Territory, Plantations, Prisons, and other historic sites to understand the harm caused by chattel enslavement and the overdue repair.
