🇺🇸 On July 5, 1852, Frederick Douglass gave a keynote address at an Independence Day celebration.

On that day, he asked: “What to the slave is the Fourth of July?”

Though chattel slavery in the United States has been abolished, we continue to ask similar questions today as America celebrates 250 years as an independent nation.

“What have I, or those I represent, to do with your national independence? Are the great principles of political freedom and of natural justice, embodied in that Declaration of Independence, extended to us? And am I therefore, called upon to bring our humble offering to the national altar, and to confess the benefits and express devout gratitude for the blessings resulting from your independence to us?”

Let’s continue to ask the questions to realize actual liberty and justice for all.

This week, Executive Director Derek Burtch, attended Human-Centered Design workshop.

🎯 Spoiler: EtS is already operating in a lot of way from a human-centered approach!

This workshop helped us focus on even MORE opportunities to engage with teachers and students to understand and co-create solutions that directly affect them. It was also great to connect with other community members about how they approach human-centered design in their work and advocacy.

Art was the backdrop for the exchange with Worthington Kilbourne () and Beechcroft High School () students!

hosted us and it was the perfect location.

As the students observed various art exhibits, they grounded in what justice looks like by way of museums. They had the opportunity to collaborate, express, share and create.

Each student has their own unique lens given their respective lived experiences. It was amazing to watch them listen to and learn from each other’s stories.
