In April, SJLA teamed up with Regen and visited the Schomburg in Harlem to explore two powerful exhibits celebrating 100 years of Black archival history. Through “The 100,” we experienced the legacy of preserving Black stories, movements, and culture, while reflecting on what our own archives might hold. “Guarinex,” a youth interpretation of Arturo Schomburg’s “The Negro Digs Up His Past,” challenged us to think about how young people reclaim history and shape how it is remembered. Prior to the trip, SJLA spent time reading “The Negro Digs Up His Past” and brought in young pictures of ourselves, to begin imagining how people might be remembering us already.

Sharing this experience with Regen reminded us that the work we do today deserves to be documented, protected, and honored. From sweet ice pops on Harlem streets to family style dinner at , we left grounded in the lessons of the past and inspired to preserve our futures!! The future is bright ✨

Summer SJLA is open for enrollment!

This year, Social Justice Leadership Academy is all about being ROOTED and ROUTED. We’re grounding ourselves in the power, lessons, and legacy of 1960s movement work, learning from those who organized, resisted, and reimagined before us. But we’re not staying in the past. As youth organizers, we’re getting rooted in right now, in the urgency, the possibilities, and the realities of this moment. From that foundation, we’re charting new paths forward. Together, we’ll build routes that honor what exists, strengthen what’s working, and mobilize around what’s missing. We’re not here to recreate, we’re here to radically reimagine. Rooted in history. Routed toward the future.

WHAT: SJLA (Social Justice Leadership Academy)
WHERE: 58 N. Front Street, Hudson
WHEN: July 14-Aug 6 | Tues-Fri, 10am-3pm
Free program, ages 12+

Link in bio to learn more and apply ✨

⭐️ A limited number of paid positions are available for teens, ages 15+. Teen staff join one week earlier for training for a total of five weeks. DM us for the application for a paid youth position.
