New words in my lexicon

 

.....things I heard first at Williams....

 

Occupyer

Concentrator

Black Diaspora


First  ("I have been first many times, but this is the first time I feel proud") Black Woman at Williams

Williams black students who graduated but are now no longer living

Williams black students who never graduated but who are stilling living or dead

Black people who are deeply associated with Williams but who were never matriculating students

Experience of returning to Williams and Williamstown (to the land and the space) in a different role or capacity... We often cycle back to a place that is part of our destiny!
