“To acknowledge privilege is the first step in making it available for wider use. Each of us is blessed in some particular way, whether we recognize our blessings or not. And each one of us, somewhere in our lives, must clear a space within that blessing where she can call upon whatever resources are available to her in the name of something that must be done.”
We were stunned by the number of alumni who signed our original letter. Clearly, people wanted action. We realized the biggest leverage we had was through you – our fellow Grotonians.
Let’s come together to aid Groton on its antiracism journey.
About us
We are a group of concerned Groton alumni who wrote a letter to Groton about the school’s role in perpetuating systemic racism, both on its campus and as a member of society.
DONATE
Contribute to our alumni-led fundraiser for antiracist organizations before December 31, 2020. You can donate to antiracist organizations from our original letter or log donations inspired by that letter.
get involved
To better organize, update other concerned alumni, and to identify individual skill sets that can be leveraged to move these solutions and Groton’s antiracist efforts moving forward, we’ve created this form. Please complete the form if you would like to be involved and/or updated on our progress.
