CHANGE THE NAME! INTERVIEW WITH MEMBERS OF THE 929 MOVEMENT

3/11/2021

0 Comments

 
In our last episode, we discussed Carrie Chapman Catt and her (blatantly racist) leadership in finally passing the 19th amendment. Today, we interview a current and former student at Iowa State University, involved in activism to rename a building on ISU campus named after Catt: the September 29th Movement (also known as 929). The conversation, however, reaches far beyond Iowa and Catt herself. Wesley Harris and Allan Nosworthy gift us their experience and knowledge in community building, collective leadership, lifelong activism, and the politics of history. Wesley is part of the next generation of the movement helping to document its history while Allan was one of the original members whose campus activism included a hunger strike. We were deeply honored to talk to them and inspired by their work. To learn more about the September 29th Movement, check out their Instagram page, recent letters to the editor of the Iowa State Daily about the name change, and original member Meron Wondwosen's recent lecture on this history. #ChangeTheName!
