Mattapoisett School Committee member under fire from UMass Dartmouth student leaders

Kate Robinson Apr 5, 2021 MATTAPOISETT Student leaders at UMass Dartmouth have published a letter this week calling for Vice Chancellor of Student Affairs Dr. Shannon Finning who is also a member of the Old Rochester Regional and Mattapoisett School Committees to resign for failing to address the community’s concerns with systemic racism at the school. In a letter sent to local media contacts and published in student newspaper The Torch, six student leaders including Student Government Association President Liz Anusauskas and Class of 2021 President Pearl McCarthy asked university officials for Dr. Finning’s immediate resignation, calling her “unfit to serve” in her current role.

A total of 38 students in grades seven through twelve in the Tri-Town submitted work to be judged by Tangi Thomas, the president of the organization, and three community members: Darrin Garcia, Jean DaSilva and Janis Johnson. Aliyah Jordan, a Tabor student, came in first place for her poem titled “Heroes Unsung.” “The judges were completely floored by both her poem and her reciting of it,” said Alison Noyce of the organization. “She perfectly embodied the theme of our contest, Beyond Martin and Rosa, by honoring a teenager [named Claudette Colvin] who refused to give up her seat in the front of the bus to a white person nine months before Rosa Parks did the same thing.”

The conversation called “Who me, racist?” explored the unconscious racial bias that we all absorb regularly, and what we can do about it.
