Vermont-based Organizations and Information
Nation-wide Organizations and Information
The “I Am Vermont Too” project began in March of 2014. Modeled after the “I Too, Am Harvard” initiative, the “I Am Vermont Too” photo-story project shines a light on the diversity of identities and experiences of People of Color all across the State of Vermont. It looks to provide an opportunity for reflection and dialogue for majority-white communities who may be unaware of their participation in perpetuating racial stereotypes and harming People of Color. The exhibit was shown at Lyndon and included Lyndon students in the fall of 2017.
