“The decided topic of this year’s Unity Conference was “The Politics of Color”. The workshop that I attended was about how color, particularly in the black community, often culturally determined the level of masculinity within boys. The workshop was led by one of my favorite professors at Bates and we discussed how images in film, literature, and television perpetuate these structural issues regarding the perception of black men. The turnout was great for the workshops and suggested that all sorts of people on Bates campus care about these issues.” Read more and see Pictures HERE
