Odom was named a Kalamazoo YWCA Woman of Achievement recipient in 2018. She is a scholar on the Underground Railroad’s presence in Southwest Michigan. Odom used to coordinate history programs and special projects at the Kalamazoo Valley Museum for 16 years, including holding a summer youth camp on the Underground Railroad. A major traveling exhibit about race had come to the museum during the same year that she retired from there in 2010.
Odom kept the conversation about race going by launching a multi-racial, community-wide book group that met in public spaces to encourage racial healing; it was founded within months of the exhibit’s conclusion. That discussion and reading effort is now a joint project of SHARE and the Kalamazoo Public Library.

KALAMAZOO COUNTY, MI (WKZO AM/FM) Wednesday, the Kalamazoo Community Foundation (KZCF) announced that it has awarded $1.85 million in grants to 50 nonprofit programs throughout Kalamazoo County in the final grantmaking of 2020.
Officials say all programs supported align with the Community Foundation’s investment priorities of equity and education. Additionally, many local nonprofits not listed receive grants and distributions from Donor Advised Funds and Designated Funds held at KZCF.
“In this second round of 2020 grantmaking we received several requests for higher amounts than usual,” Senior Community Investment Officer at KZCF Sandy Barry-Loken said in a statement. “We believe this is a result of our partners leaning into advocacy work and expanding their efforts to make an impact at a systems level.”
City Of Kalamazoo Takes Big Step To End Local, Systemic Racism
Systemic Racism. It s something that has been going on for a while but was definitely brought to the spotlight in 2020. And its something that we, as an entire country, need to work on if it s ever going to change.
As a white woman in this country, I ve faced my challenges. A lot of them. But, none of those challenges were a direct result of discrimination due to the color of my skin. And, I m ashamed to say that it was only in recent years that I learned about systemic racism and how it affects so many people in this country. Here s the video that opened my eyes and led me down a rabbit hole of research.
