“If I have seen further than others, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants.”
— Isaac Newton
We are forever students of our field’s great teachers, activists, change makers, and rabble-rousers. Their work and sacrifice made Erase the Space a possibility and they guide us when we have lost our way. We remember that nonviolent communication, cross-racial collaboration, and civil discourse are tools long employed by community organizers working towards justice for marginalized communities. We humbly join in the conversation and the ongoing fight for equity within education spaces and into our community.
