This year’s commemoration in both divisions focused on the 1950s and 1960s civil rights movement with a spotlight on youth activism, Dr. King’s Westchester County visits and the impact of music and political art of the era. Students had the opportunity to explore these topics with their advisory groups through lessons designed by faculty. Extra time for processing and holding further discussions was also made available to students.

The day’s events and activities were organized by The Center’s Selas Douglas, associate head for inclusive excellence, Esperanza Borrero, dean for inclusive excellence and Marie-Louise Miller, associate dean of purposeful engagement. 

“We were hoping to find the balance between having an engaging day that tapped into some joy and expanding our knowledge of how communities responded to the challenges of the civil rights era,” explained Douglas.

Assembly speakers throughout the day included Kaci Collins-Jordan, upper school history and religion teacher, Juan Torres ’25, diversity ambassador co-chair, Adji Ngom ’25, diversity ambassador co-chair, Jules Jorsling ’29, middle school DEI club co-chair, Angus McCallum &#
