On The Gram

  • The Barrio Logan neighborhood is one of San Diego's oldest Mexican-American neighborhoods. For decades, the community struggled against racial injustices. In April 1970, the community united to protest the construction of a California Highway Patrol parking lot where the city had promised a community park. Hundreds of people occupied the park for nearly two weeks. Finally, community activists successfully negotiated with the city to form the Chicano Park Steering Committee to lead efforts in building the park. Now the park is a National Historic Landmark filled with art, murals and sculptures embracing the Chicano/Mexicano/Indigenous cultures. Read more about how community self-determination led to the development of Chicano Park, link in bio. . . . #WKKF #KelloggFoundation #WKKFCLN #NationalHispanicHeritageMonth #SanDiego #California #Chicano #ChicanoHeritage #Culture #CulturalHub #NationalHistoricLandmark #Park #CommunityPark #Neighborhood #Activism #Art #Murals #RacialEquity #History @ccldotorg
  • The @americanlibraryassociation’s Great Stories Club series on Truth, Racial Healing & Transformation is a book club for teens to read and discuss stories that explore race, equity, identity, history, institutional change and social justice.

This year, 35 U.S. libraries –– representing public, academic and school/K-12 libraries and library associations –– have been selected for the program.

Books for the theme include: - “Ms. Marvel Volume 1: No Normal” by G. Willow Wilson and Adrian Alphona - “The Hate U Give” by @angiethomas - “March: Book One” by @repjohnlewis, @andrewaydin and @seemybrotherdance - “Shadowshaper” by @danieljose1 - “X: A Novel” by @ilyasahshabazz and @keklamagoon - “The Sun is Also a Star” by @nicolayoon . . . #WKKF #KelloggFoundation #Library #Books #YouthDevelopment #RacialEquity #TRHT #RacialHealing #SocialJustice #Reading #Teens #LibraryLove

  • “Research shows that from infancy, children are developing mental maps that lead to their baseline racialized identity and social status before the age of 6. Early childhood education has the power to guide racial and social identities to a healthy place.” - Esther Washington, director of education at the National Museum of African American History and Culture We’re thrilled to support the @smithsonian’s @nmaahc with a $1.5 million grant to expand its Early Childhood Education Initiative (ECEI). The initiative combines human development, early childhood education, museum education and developmental psychology to help young children, birth to 8 years old, be comfortable with human diversity, recognize unfairness and develop the capacity to stand against prejudice. . . . #WKKF #KelloggFoundation #Grant #Grantee #ECE #EarlyChildhood #Education #ImplicitBias #RacialEquity #Museum #CommunityEngagement #APeoplesJourney #ANationsStory #Diversity #Equity

  • Victoria Washington, Mommy Ambassador for @bmbfa, wants mothers to know that if they are having trouble with breastfeeding, it is not their fault, sometimes there are medical reasons. “It doesn't mean that there's something wrong with you, so don't feel this pressure. You are still a great mom and doing great things for your child, but just be flexible with the process.” Link in bio. . . . #WKKF #KelloggFoundation #BBW19 #TheWorldIsYours #NBM19 #BMBFA #BlackMothers #Breastfeeding #NormalizeBreastfeeding #Detroit #313 #Motherhood #MomLife #BlackMotherhood #BlackBreastfeedingWeek #ItsMyWorld @blkbfingweek @eatdetroitdough
  • After Victoria Washington gave birth to her daughter, she struggled with breastfeeding. She Googled “free breastfeeding help” and @bmbfa’s Peer Counseling Program came up as a search result. Through the program, a young mother visited Washington’s home every week to check on her and answer her questions. After the program ended, Washington attended BMBFA’s Breastfeeding Clubs, became a volunteer and eventually became a certified doula. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Washington proudly breastfeeds her toddler daughter and encourages mothers to do what is best for their child.
