Hello Supporters! Just wanted to update you on my meeting with Dr. Thompson about the status of feedback on our petition. In a nutshell, he immediately took the opportunity to use the excuse of the pandemic and dealing with those important issues. I explained we understand that and we all feel the importance of that however not even to acknowledge our concern with a projected date of discussion or even reaching out to me to give me a status. He understood and I made our concerns clear. I understood him also and look forward to some type of feedback soon. I took the opportunity to wear a MOCO Indian shirt also and shared my story of my great great Grandfather Sam Mickens, a Black Indian told by my 100 year old Granny who passed away recently. I told him for me and my generation that logo on my shirt was equivalent to “blackface”. No human race should be marginalized as such.
Let’s keep our concern alive by sharing our petition. Oh yes, they wanted me to print all comments and concerns.
