Today is a big day! 🎂

It's the birthday of Dialogue on Race Louisiana's Founder, President, and CEO, Maxine Crump!! 🥳🥳

Hi everyone! I'm Jasmine Pogue, Dialogue on Race's Fundraising Coordinator! I'm taking over the DOR social media pages for a moment to tell you why today matters so much to me.

I first met Maxine in 2016. I was angry, volatile, and confused, looking for something besides the vitriol I was getting from friends and colleagues over the political rhetoric of that election. There was a Dialogue on Race Original Series happening in my neighborhood. I signed up, unsure what it was, but hopeful it could make sense of what I was struggling with.

By the end of the series, I didn't have all the answers, but I finally had hope. I had a place that gave me a way to talk that didn't leave me feeling so angry.

Ten years later, I'm a volunteer staff member of Dialogue on Race, 1,500+ miles from Louisiana in Massachusetts. I've learned so much from Maxine that I've applied far beyond the sphere of racism, in parenting, at work, in how I see the world. Just this week, colleagues were talking about a prospect that didn't look feasible. Maxine taught me to always ask, "What can we do?" So I asked them the same. The conversation shifted immediately, and it ended on a high note.

Swipe to see how Maxine has impacted the Dialogue on Race interns too ➡️

From Dialogue on Race Louisiana, a message of Celebration and recognition for our Country's Declaration of Independence Anniversary:

As we celebrate the signing of the Declaration of Independence and the ideals of liberty and equality it put forth, we also pause to acknowledge that its promise did not initially extend to everyone.

True progress lies in honoring our history while continuing the shared work of fulfilling that promise for all.

🎆🇺🇸

“What would Dr. King say about today’s so-called ‘unprecedented’ era of division?”

This question is asked every year as United States Americans reflect on the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. This year, the Dialogue on Race staff revisited Dr. King’s own words.

Across his writings and speeches, Dr. King spoke directly about peace without justice, silence in the face of injustice, racial and economic inequality, and the moral cost of passivity.

As Americans in the US honor Dr. King this MLK Day, Dialogue on Race invites reflection not only on what he dreamed, but on what he demanded of us.
