Name Tag Experience

Name Tag, Inc. had the opportunity to donate some of its products to the YWCA Greater Newburyport. Here’s a follow-up on their event.

We had a very successful event attended by 80 high school students and over 100 adult community members.  We viewed the film “What Makes Me White?” by Aimee Sands.

Following the film, we had a robust and thought provoking discussion about racism.  Several high school students felt that racism is over and that by talking about it we are causing more problems. There is a challenge in discussing racism in an almost all white community.

Highly recommend the film.
