Who is Eligible?
In the spirit of the Founder, Louis Kwame Fosu and civil rights leaders such as Sherri Bevel, those who are eligible to join as members of The Diversity Think Tank are those students and activists who have a burning passion and conviction to selflessly protect and advocate as trained experts for those who cannot speak or stand up for themselves; and to tirelessly agitate to change the world during their lifetimes to achieve racial equity in institutions. This is a calling and a lifestyle not a job, even where that means standing up against towering institutional Goliaths whose leadership glibly and callously reinscribes racist, inhumane policy as standard daily practice.
Students and activists are coached, mentored and advised by civil rights activists, educators/professors, media experts, attorneys, legal strategists and advocacy experts on how to change structurally racist policies, by utilizing multidimensional non-violent advocacy strategies that encompass: negotiations, demonstrations, never bargaining their dignity to accept a “Three-Fifths Compromise”, drafting policy, influencing and proposing new inclusive policy.
