Together We Stand

Darin Scott: A former cultural anthropology educator, community leader and local activist, with a focus on historical "chattel slavery" and "Americas injustices of POC". Originally from New London Connecticut, I began researching my families history of how we came to this coutry, landing in Crewe Virginia. The more I learned, I felt compelled to learn more about this country and it's systemic practices. Upon moving to moving to Austin Texas, I attended Huston-Tillotson University majoring in anthropology with a minor in journalism/ communications. After college, I worked as a public speaker for a local activist group for l change and an educator. I now spead most of my time, educating and mentoring local youth and police officers on civil interactions, in our communities. This has also lead me to organize local stands against police brutality in the city of Dallas TX. The ultimate goal is to educate people through a historic lens of truth and determination giving a more clear and honest picture of why race relations are what they are in this country today.
