From Vanessa: resitance =survival. The lands and language we are given to use are the lands and language of the opressor. If we could change the mindset, we would restore dignity to the idea of survival

from Mitzi: Women and indigenous peoples have always been exluded from institutional narratives. Sites of Conscience must fight against this tendency.  What we saw in the presentation by Withney Plantation is still happening in philippines. If it weren't by sites of memory, a lot of people wouldn't know and wouldn't acknowledge the existance of these issues.

From Doudou: The importance of cultural resistance. Enslavement was built on the basis that slaves had no culture, no wishes, no aspirations. The resistance of culture and spirituality was crucial. Since the slaves had no right to resist, they integrated their culture and spirituality into the oppressor framework. We can see this in the integration of Christ and the Virgin Mary in Candomblé and Santeria. This integration is one of the most intelligent forms of resistance.

from Gegê:

Need to revisit our own history. Whitheness has dominated historic narratives.

Histories of resistance are as important as histories of opression.

Identities are complex processes.

Use our privilege to make histories and silenced narratives visible.

How economic systems create exclusive systems of power

Pay attention to universal experiences of racism

Legislation being used to impose and exclude rather than protect.
