Bridgewater State University
American Studies and African American Studies Programs kindly invite you to attend a Zoom speaker event related to diversity and social justice. This presentation situates Team USA gymnast Simone Biles’s withdrawal from several events at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics due to mental health concerns into broader, often mediated conversations about Black women’s mental health. In particular, the presentation emphasizes how Biles’s decision and subsequent advocacy reflect the increasing importance—among Black women generally and Black women athletes specifically—of balancing strength and vulnerability. It concludes by highlighting how Biles (and other Black women athletes such as Naomi Osaka) disrupts the dichotomy that often presents Black women as either “mental health mules” or angry victims. |

BCCR finds the vandalism on the property of Marlon Green, who is running for city council in Brockton, to be reprehensible, racist and totally uncalled for. We support Mr. Green and his family as they go through this trying time. As fellow Americans, we need to call out all incidents like this for what they are - a racist act of senseless vandalism.
