Citizens Uprooting Racism in Bermuda [CURB] held their inaugural Dr. Eva Naomi Hodgson Racial Justice Award event which celebrated the life and legacy of the late Dr. Eva Hodgson, and also honoured individuals and organizations that have made a significant contribution towards furthering racial equity and and inclusiveness in Bermuda.
CURB President Hashim Estwick said, “Let us remember Dr. Hodgson’s remarkable journey, unwavering spirit, and relentless pursuit of a society free from the shackles of racism. May this ceremony serve as a catalyst for change, igniting a renewed commitment within each of us to carry forward her mission and create a more inclusive and equitable world.”
CURB’s Executive Director Stacey-Lee Williams said, “As we gather this evening, let us remember that anti-racism is not a burden but a collective responsibility. It is about understanding and embracing the experiences of others, it is about listening, learning, and standing up against injustice. It is about creating an environment where every Bermudian and its residents, regardless of their racial background, can thrive and contribute to our society.”
Lynne Winfield earned a lifelong achievement award, and the other awardees included Melodye Micere Van Putten, Kristin White, Rashida Godwin, Gherdai Hassell, The Family Center, Glenn Fubler, Yesha Townsend, Phillip Davis & The Argus Group, and the Bacardi Bermuda Belonging Committee.
Sorry but this is the biggest joke since Biden got elected.your all crying about racism but you’re able to pay $150/$200 to attend this conference.Can’t be that hard done by.
Charities have no real interest in solving the issue they are formed for. Not all but a lot seem to be in this boat. The idea is to not put them out of work. They have never ever really had an honest conversation about the issue and the segregated talks with people like Tim Wise a self flagellating speaker like the lady that wrote “white fragility”. Most of these people just keep the fires burning.
LOL People just need to look inside themselves and conduct themselves as they themselves want to be and realize no one reacts well to mistreatment.
