SKS CELEBRATES BLACK HISTORY PAST & PRESENT
BSU Faces from the 1972 SKS Yearbook
SKS Celebrates Black History Past & Present BY ELIZABETH WILSON TAVILOGLU P’19 & SARAH FULTON ’09
For more than one year, the aftermath following the death of George Floyd has run parallel to our grappling with the pandemic, and has weighed heavily on the minds and hearts of our community. At The Storm King School, where we value diversity and inclusion, and take pride in our international, multicultural community, we have strived to create learning opportunities for our students from these unfortunate events. Likewise, we are continuing to look inward to ensure that every aspect of our school lives up to the values we hold so dear. In this issue of On the Mountain, many of our community members of color, including current students, faculty members, and alumni, have graciously shared their stories, experiences, and points of view. Their voices serve as windows on how the Black experience has evolved at Storm King, and their inspiring words will help to further conversations on the role our school will play in making the world a better place for all. 4 / SKS CELEBRATES BLACK HISTORY PAST & PRESENT
