Webinar: Black History Month through a co-operative lens
Resource
Watch this online panel discussion on Black History Month and the co-operative movement – how it started and what it means for us trying to tell the co-op story fairly.
Most people who have heard of co-ops know a little about the way the movement formed but would be unsure about how Black history fits into the story.
Watch this online panel discussion on Black History Month and the co-operative movement – how it started and what it means for us trying to tell the co-op story fairly.
A key part of the framing this conversation is around the invisibility of Black history in co-operative records and what we do about representation in the future.
We look at why it’s still difficult to achieve equity and meaningful visibility in our own times. And how we use the experiences of the past to forge a new, inclusive future.
