Black Lives Matter
The Vermont Folklife Center is in solidarity with Black Lives Matter and the fight for racial justice. We urge Vermonters to reflect on the ways in which systemic racism and oppression operate in our society. Thank you for listening, learning and supporting anti-oppression efforts in our communities. Our colleagues at the Vermont Humanities Council have compiled a list of resources which has helped inform our thinking, and we share it so that it can be of use to others. VFC staff will continue to engage with these and other resources for our own learning and action, and will share them here and through our
social media channels.
