Who We Are was on display. Chairwas on the planning <br /> committee for the breakfast. She was thrilled about the grant for$500 from Cape Cod Five that <br /> helped cover some of the cost. It will be on display at the Cotuit Center for the Arts February to <br /> March. Some Tribal Members were present at the MLK breakfast, David Weeden being one, <br /> and she met a man running a table about slavery in indigenous tribes. Representative Keating <br /> spoke about Congress members trying to eliminate any reference to DEI in legislation. We <br /> need to be aware of that movement. <br /> Ayesha gave a presentation on Who We Are at the Human Rights Commission awards <br /> ceremony, kudos to Ms. Shafi! <br /> Diversity Day at the school is being held on January 31 st during two sessions: 1-1:45p.m. & 2- <br /> 2:45p.m. Chair met with the young woman doing this for her Senior Project. The focus is on <br /> certain isms. Ms. Stevenson has been asked to participate so she and Mr. Brandt will be doing <br /> a Zumba numberwith their class for ageism. <br /> OLD BUSINESS <br /> MIDC Logo Update <br /> The logo was passed to the Town Managerand Mr. Collinsthought itwas fine. Mr. Kupferman <br /> asked for the logo to be on the column and he is awaiting to see if that happens, but it did <br /> make it to the online article. Discussions were had about a possible table cloth or banner to go <br /> with the logo and Chairwill follow up with Ms. Johnson-Graham. <br /> Race Amity Day Planning <br /> Mr. Kupferman noted they are moving along, and they have the program worked outforthe <br /> most part. They need confirmation from a few performers. They are having more music and <br /> fewer speakers this year, the Committee decided this would be done intentionally.This allowed <br /> for more relaxation time, as too many speakers involves paying attention. There will be more <br /> vendors as well. They would also like to get more participation from the Wampanoag <br /> community, he is not sure how to do that, he has had a few exchanges. There are several <br /> returning musicians. The hope is for more student involvement as well as family attendance. <br /> He is thankful forthe Donovan's who volunteer their time. He was thinking if the word picnic <br /> was added onto signage more families would be enticed to come hang outfora couple hours. <br /> Chairsent a requestto Brianna Johnson to sing "Change is going to come" and will reach out <br /> to a contact in Barnstable about being a speaker. <br /> Status of Complaint <br /> Ms. Stevenson has not heard back but she will follow up. <br /> 2 <br />
