Hi! We’re the Ethnic Studies Working Group, a group of students and faculty dedicated to cultivating and creating an Ethnic Studies curriculum at LWHS. Our group began in 2019 when a group of anonymous students of color left a poster and a letter chronicling the adverse experiences of students of color in this predominantly white institution. Not only did our students trust the community enough to share this feedback, they also outlined avenues for action to create healing spaces for students of color. After several years of research and collaboration, we’re proud to introduce the very first pilot class in the Spring of 2023 hosted by the Center. This curriculum will be co-taught and co-designed by students and teachers. We look forward to creating this liberatory space that centers people of color.
