NAHOF invites the public to join in sharing thoug hts about the ways to engage in the work of racial justice at this time. T his conversation will aim to help each be active\, in many small ways\, in standing together to work toward an end to such things as the school-to-p rison pipeline\, police brutality\, and the legacy of white supremacy that still perpetuates racism and de-values black lives. Following the Civil W ar\, despite the enactment of the13th\, 14th\, and 15th Amendments\, state and local governments enforced laws that included racial segregation in r estrooms\, restaurants\, schools\, housing\, and transportation. These unj ust regulations were called Jim Crow laws. (“Jim Crow” had become a pejora tive word for African-Americans in the early 1800s.) Most of these laws we re overturned by the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. The “New Jim Crow” practices are renewed attempts at discrimination and repression since the Civil Rights laws. Given continued American raci sm and NAHOF’s mission to honor antislavery abolitionists\, their work to end slavery\, and the legacy of that struggle\, and strive to complete the second and ongoing abolition – the moral conviction to end racism\, the s ession will identify actions that Central New Yorkers can begin the next d ay and ways in which participants can ‘March on Central New York’ as 21st century abolitionists.\n\nDrea Finley will be the lead facilitator of the community conversation. Finley is a member of the Cabinet of Freedom for t he National Abolition Hall of Fame and Museum and is co-chair of its Cultu ral Diversity Committee.
