    League of Women VotersSedona AZ (January 12, 2021) – The League of Women Voters of Northern Arizona (LWVNA) has created a Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee (DEI) and will host regular educational programming and create opportunities for policy advocacy on DEI issues as they arise. Diversity, equity, and inclusion are central to the organization’s current and future success in engaging all individuals, households, communities, and policy makers in creating a more perfect democracy.

    The initial Speaker in a planned series is Reverend Dr. Bernadine Lucille Lewis, Director for Undergraduate Programs at the W. A. Franke College of Business at Northern Arizona University.  Dr. Lewis’ professional experience also includes over 20 years in higher education and entrepreneurship as a visual and wearable arts, high-end costume, and fine jewelry retailer. Bernadine Lewis is passionate about her work with business students, including a focus on equity, diversity, and inclusion programming for the College, other University departments, and the Flagstaff community. Her academic background includes a Doctorate in Divinity, psychology and business undergraduate degrees, and an MBA. Dr. Lewis will provide a narrative on the enslaved; present Black history information through the present day; offer background about the topic of Black Lives Matter; and moderate the meeting’s closure by asking attendees to consider the world as it is, and the world attendees would like to see. What needs to happen to make change? What are we all willing to do to make change?

    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
