In 2021, @SolidarityBook invited Amherst and beyond to combine solidarity with art. Created by Prof. @syclarkart '89, the project raised $100K from the College for orgs that support Black and Indigenous communities.

Here are the last 3 nonprofits that
are recipients of the funds you helped raise with your
participation in this project! @TomaquagMuseum, @UNCF, and the Wôpanâak Language Reclamation Project. We could not be happier to support these organizations!

The Monument is slowly coming down, book by book. Half your books will be mailed back to you, the other half will live in the Amherst Archives & Special Collections. But the project is not over!
