THE OJCL TORCH: FALL EDITION 11

Whilst in a mixer at national convention during which participants were discussing Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in the JCL, I learned about a few of the JCL’s darker elements. Periods of time, events, movements, and symbolism throughout its history are less than ideal. They left members of the JCL excluded and hurt.

The main purpose of this publication will be to educate JCLers on the harmful historical practices of the JCL.

Lastly, a friendly reminder and request to please send in any photographs either by emailing them to me at [email protected] or by using this form here: https://forms.gle/ZpEx4C3gAJ4rgqM46
