Welcome to the
Equality & Equity Project
As part of our commitment to Anti-Racism, Diversity & Inclusion, the Equality & Equity Project will provide historical and present-day information about the contributions, challenges,
culture, and daily lives of the many vital groups that make up our NSCC community,
and the larger world.
We invite you to visit often, reflect on what you see and read, discuss it with others and, hopefully, expand your knowledge base, appreciation, and understanding of groups beyond your own.
Think About This...
This is an example of white privilege: When I am told about our national heritage or about "civilization," I am shown that people of my color made it what it is.
However, this country’s history is filled with Black women who have been steadfast
in their efforts to advocate for democratic rights for ALL Americans. In 1948, Charlotta Bass, a California newspaper publisher and editor, left her 30-year allegiance to the
Republican party out of exasperation over their very limited support for racial and
gender inclusivity. She joined the newly created Progressive Party and, in 1952, Charlotta
became the first Black woman to be nominated to the role of Vice President on any
party’s national ticket.
In 1968, New York Democrat Shirley Chisholm became the first Black woman to win a seat in Congress. In 1972, Congresswoman Chisholm became the first African American and the first woman to seek a major party’s nomination to run for President. She was openly anti-racist, anti-sexist, anti-war, pro-choice, and pro-labor, and she sought solutions to the chaotic issues that were plaguing the nation during that time. Although both women were committed to their parties, party establishments did not consider either politician to be a real agent of change or the appropriate 'face' for their party.

Beyond the Blues
Enjoy retired Professor Ralph Tufo’s new musical, Beyond the Blues, a play about the power of music.
You can also access the video by going to YouTube and typing “Beyond the Blues Zoom Production” in the search box.
Ralph wrote the script, lyrics, and music. Samantha Bestvina was the producer/director, and Larry Plitt of the Squeezebox Stompers performed the music. Feel free to share this email.
Synopsis - It’s 1982 in the Brickyard neighborhood of Lynn, MA. The gritty Urban Legend Bar & Grill is hosting its annual Singer/Songwriter Blues Competition. Four finalists are vying for the coveted award. They each sing 2 original songs accompanied by dramatic monologues which describe their song inspirations, the hardships they’ve gotten beyond, and their own unique connection to Lynn’s history. The owner of the Urban Legend is struggling to keep the bar operating since the Brickyard neighborhood has been decimated by urban renewal and a loan-shark is now threatening him for payback. The Blue Blazers Band (Squeezebox Stompers) provide the live musical back-up for the singers. What happens to the bar? Who wins the award at the end? It’s up to the actual audience who votes for the winner at each performance.
Pop some popcorn, sit back, relax and enjoy the show.
