Joining me in the studio is Dr. Lauren Morimoto, Ph.D. Dr. Morimoto is a professor at Sonoma State University in the Kinesiology Dept. She is here today to provide us with an update regarding the Sonoma State University Solidarity Encampment for Gaza. Happy Birthday to my dear friend June Brashares, she turned sixty.

Background: Juneteenth is
the oldest known celebration
commemorating the ending of
slavery in the United
States. Dating back to 1865,
it was on June 19th that the
Union soldiers, led by Major
General Gordon Granger,
landed at Galveston, Texas
with news that the war had
ended and that the enslaved
were now free. Note that
this was two and a half
years after President
Lincoln’s Emancipation
Proclamation - which had
become official on January
1, 1863. The Emancipation
Proclamation had a minor
impact on the Texans due to
the minimal number of Union
troops to enforce the new
Executive Order. However,
with the surrender of
General Lee in April of
1865, and the arrival of
General Granger’s regiment,
the forces were finally
strong enough to influence
and overcome the resistance.
Juneteenth became a federal holiday in 2021 and this year the federal holiday happens on Wednesday, June 19th. It has been coined as the second Independence Day for the United States. Next week I will be doing a special tribute to Juneteenth. Mark your calendars for August 10, 2024. The National Organization for Women (NOW) is hosting the NOW California Conference which I am thrilled about. I will be talking more about it as we get closer to the date. It is going to be a great gathering with chapters from all over the country attending. I will have the honor of opening the conference with the Women’s Spaces Pledge and Ana Salgado, an activist and dear friend will be joining me and give the Pledge in Spanish. That is August 10, 2024, so mark your calendars. I hope to see many of my listeners there and will be happy to give you a copy of the pledge. All information will be listed on www.womensspaces.com ---- 2. Our Guest, Prof. Lauren Morimoto, Ph.D. discussed her background, academic focus, and involvement in student activism. Her family's experiences during WWII in Hawaii, though not directly interned, influenced her activism. Her initial educational goal to reform the NCAA shifted to a broader focus on the historical and sociological aspects of sport and the importance of somatic education. Dr. Morimoto spoke about the recent student protests at Sonoma State related to Gaza, emphasizing their embodiment of the Seawolf Commitment, which stresses integrity, respect, excellence, and responsibility. She praised the students' peaceful activism and engagement with the administration, noting the support from former university president Mike Lee. However, she expressed concern about the new administration's reluctance to honor previous agreements, leading to tension and uncertainty. The Seawolf Commitment, developed by students in 2017, calls for ethical standards, respect, excellence, and responsibility. Dr. Morimoto highlighted how the students' activism aligns with these values. She also mentioned the backlash against the call for an academic boycott of Israel, which she believes has been mischaracterized and misunderstood. Dr. Morimoto encouraged support for the students through letters to the editor and direct communication with the university administration. She stressed the importance of recognizing and honoring the students' efforts and the agreements made with the former administration. Despite the challenges, she remains proud of the students' thoughtful and engaged approach to activism.

Her diverse education (B.A.s in Dramatic Art and History, M.A. in Education, and Ph.D. in Educational Policy and Leadership with a cognate in Black Studies) and international experiences shaped her interest in human movement from multiple perspectives. Recently, she ran a narrative medicine pilot program and seeks funding to continue it, helping future health professionals understand how their identities influence their experiences. Her research on race, ethnicity, and sport, combined with her experiences as a woman of color with a disability, underscores her commitment to equity, diversity, and inclusion.

Special thank you to the National Women’s History Alliance for making women’s history alive. Shout out to Co-Founder and Retiring Executive Director, Molly McGregor who will be on the show when we celebrate Women’s History Month in March for making the fabulous list of Women in History where I get most of the info I present in this Herstory segment. -- Herstory Events: June 10, 1963 – Equal Pay Act enacted: “To prohibit discrimination on account of sex in the payment of wages by employers engaged in commerce or in the production of goods for commerce.” (PL 88-38).

Nightwood is a 1936 novel by
American author Djuna Barnes
that was first published by
publishing house Faber and
Faber. It is one of the
early prominent novels to
portray explicit
homosexuality between women,
and as such can be
considered lesbian
literature.
Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nightwood June 14, 1811 (1896) – Harriet Beecher Stowe, author of Uncle Tom’s Cabin.
Uncle Tom's Cabin; or, Life
Among the Lowly is an
anti-slavery novel by
American author Harriet
Beecher Stowe. Published in
two volumes in 1852, the
novel had a profound effect
on attitudes toward African
Americans and slavery in the
U.S., and is said to have
"helped lay the groundwork
for the [American] Civil
War".[1][2][3]
Stowe, a Connecticut-born woman of English descent, was part of the religious Beecher family and an active abolitionist. She wrote the sentimental novel to depict the reality of slavery while also asserting that Christian love could overcome slavery.[4][5][6] The novel focuses on the character of Uncle Tom, a long-suffering black slave around whom the stories of the other characters revolve.
