On December 5th, 2019 the University of Orange’s Music City program organized their annual concert series as a 400 Years of Inequality observance. Remembering Rosa is a free community concert that brings together school choirs, church choirs, civic leaders, neighbors, and residents to celebrate the power of community and music, and to remember and recognize leaders like Rosa Parks, whose shoulders we all stand on.
On Monday, October 14, The New School’s College of Performing Arts, in conjunction with the 400 Years of Inequality Organizing Committee and The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art, produced Shining Lights in the Lingering Night, an evening of readings and live music observing the struggle for equality in the United States.

The 400 Years Timeline was created by a class taught by Dr. Mindy Fullilove at The New School and used in workshops and observances throughout the United States. It is yours to explore.
In this video, 400 Years organizing committee member Octavia Driscoll discusses the process of creating the timeline, and shares her reflections on the power of sitting with history.
Finding What You're FOR
Orienting yourself around what you are for is an important skill for change-making. While organizing around what you’re angry about or what you fear might fuel or drive you, it can also leave you feeling reactive and burnt out. Instead, holding what you are for at the heart of your organizing allows your values to drive your work. Leading with your values opens you up to the formation of a coalition, by helping you find alignment with others who share these beliefs.
In this video Aubrey Murdock leads us in a “Finding Our FOR” workshop.
