George Floyd’s video recorded murder makes international news; national protests commence and companies and institutions begin publishing statements regarding the Black Lives Matter movement.

Dr. Regina Stanback Stroud and Dr. Ed Bush discuss the need to have “village time” with all of the Black folks who work in the California Community Colleges. The conversation in part would focus on how we can move collectively with pro black anti-racist work.

Dr. Teresa Aldredge, Dr. Tammy Robinson, and Dr. Stacy Thompson join the dialogue and planning for creating a coalition that would soon become the village.

Ms. Dugas, Dr. Bush, Dr. Stanback Stroud, Dr. Aldredge, Dr. Thompson and Dr. Robinson developed a draft agenda for a Call to Action for Black educators.

The Village Demands Statewide Coalition on Black American Affairs becomes an official chapter of the Western Region Council on Black American Affairs - a region of the American Association of Higher Education affiliate, the National Council on Black American Affairs.

The Village Demands Statewide Coalition on Black American Affairs governing board is completed and on a mission to eradicate anti-Blackness in education.
