AAA Letter to Members
| August 31, 2017
Dear Fellow AAA Members,
It is a most maddening and deplorable fact of our times that in 2017 there is still the need to denounce the symbolic and physical violence of white supremacists, neo-Nazis, the Ku Klux Klan, the “alt-Right,” and their sympathizers in seats of power, on the streets or wherever they may be. Yet this is what we are up against.
We call on each and every AAA member to participate in a collective action to stand up for a just world in the weeks leading up to Monday, September 18, 2017, when we will hold Understanding Race After Charlottesville, a collaborative effort between the American Anthropological Association, the American Historical Association, the American Sociological Association, and the Society for Applied Anthropology.
We know that at a minimum, accurate information and knowledge are essential if we are to realize a just world. Misinformation, disinformation, and distortion are enemies of social justice. Understanding Race After Charlottesville is our opportunity to turn around the state of utter confusion being promulgated by the least responsible of leadership and disseminated by the least accountable of sources.
The AAA has created a landing page to house information about this “knowledge exchange event.” Please bookmark this page and plan to return to it in the coming weeks to access resources and find additional information about how you can participate in the event. The AAA will send out an additional email with links directly to related materials as they become available. Here’s how you’ll be able to participate:
Today, we have the opportunity to stand up for knowledge, understanding, respect and love, and make our collective voice heard far and wide by participating in Understanding Race After Charlottesville.
Thank you very much.
Yours sincerely,
Alisse Waterston AAA President |
