Week Eight: It's March already?!
|
|
March is Women's History Month
listen to 'Woman' by Diana Gordon! (song may not be suitable for young children)
|
Take the month of March and beyond to celebrate the contributions made by women in United States history starting with Women’s History Month.
This month of celebration began in 1987 as way of celebrating women’s contributions to culture, history and society. (History.com) Let’s kick-off this month with this tune from Beyoncé, “Run the World (Girls).”
Celebrating BIPOC Women!
"Did you know that Jackie Taylor was the first Native American woman to be elected to the House of Representatives? Or that Mercedes Deiz was the first Black female lawyer in Oregon to practice law, serve as a district court judge, and serve as a county circuit court judge? How often do you think about women of color during Women's History Month? Women's History Month has been celebrated in America since 1987; however, throughout history, far too many women of color go unnoticed for beating the odds and blazing a trail for future generations." - Partners in Diversity, March 2022.

As it is Women's history month, I would like to recognize and celebrate (again) Dr. Robin Holmes-Sullivan as the institution’s 26th president. Holmes-Sullivan will be the first woman and the first person of color to serve as Lewis & Clark’s president in the college’s 155-year history!
We love you Robin! <3
