Not asking for discussion as I'm just trying to further my own education
and sharing it with those that may be interested. It's apparent that this
is not a moment, it's a movement. If you're not onboard please just hit
delete but this ship has already sailed. We'll wave to those still on the
shore and perhaps one day you'll join us.

Over the last few months, Audubon has committed to *becoming an antiracist
institution*

commitment built on years of learning and action. We have a responsibility
to help correct centuries of racial injustice by changing our internal and
external practices. But first, we have some business to do in terms of
reckoning with John James Audubon’s racist past.
To begin this work, we have published two pieces on this topic on
Audubon.org <http://audubon.org/>. First is a column from our President and
CEO, David Yarnold entitled *Revealing the Past to Create the Future*

and second is a piece by Dr. Greg Nobles, a notable JJA historian, called *The
Myth of John James Audubon.

*We invite you to read these pieces and join us in our mission to create a
safer world for people and, of course, birds.*
