The BlackOUT Year Application

Applications for the 2022 Cohort are now closed. You can fill out the application to be placed on a wait list for 2023.

The application should take 45 minutes to 1 hour to complete.

We’ll ask you for a brief bio and to share what the following terms mean to you:

• liberation

• justice

• ownership

• cooperation

• collaboration

We’ll also ask you to respond to this quote:

“One of the great lies of imperial history is that only members of the elite act, and everyone else is acted upon...People who are being mistreated are always trying to figure out a strategy. Those strategies may be shortsighted, opportunistic, ineffective, or involve the betrayal of others, but they nevertheless less represent a form of resistance.”

- Aurora Levins Morales in Historian as Curandera

It’s best to draft your answers in a separate document and then paste them into form as you CANNOT save your answers as you go.

Thank you!
