JFKS IDEAS | Digging into Black History Month

Why have Black History Month? How should it be celebrated? How can Black History best be celebrated while not overlooking the travesties endured by systemic oppression? We recorded one of our weekly IDEAS meetings to explore these questions and more. 

This podcast was hosted by our fearless Director, Merlina Vogel and edited and produced by the inimitable Josie Riemer. 

If you are a JFK student and enjoy these conversations, please pop by B209 any Monday at lunch to take part. We'll be there.

What is JFKS IDEAS ?

Identity. Diversity. Empathy. Awareness. Service. The IDEAS Club at the John F. Kennedy School in Berlin, Germany was born of the demand that in our time of crises, in our Age of Anxiety, when democracy is fragile, when intolerance is increasingly tolerated, we must intensify our efforts to create a safe but challenging space to discuss and celebrate diversity. IDEAS is about challenging stereotypes, grappling with our biases, and tackling tough issues.
