SYRACUSE
CULTURAL WORKERS (SCW) is an educational and cultural organization
founded in 1982. Our mission is to help sustain a culture that honors
diversity and celebrates community; that inspires and nurtures justice,
equality and freedom; that respects our fragile Earth and all its
beings; that encourages and supports all forms of creative expression.
We
see cultural work as an essential part of and support for political and
economic change. Many of our materials celebrate movements for social
change and their leaders, thus helping to legitimize history that is
largely ignored or trivialized by commercial media and school textbooks.
SCW also helps to unite socially concerned artists with a growing
audience hungry for meaningful artwork.

Center
for the Study of White American Culture
The
Center for the Study of White American Culture (the Center) supports
cultural exploration and self-discovery among white Americans. It
encourages a dialogue among all racial and cultural groups concerning
the role of white American culture in the larger American society. The
Center operates on the premise that knowledge of one's own racial
background and culture is essential when learning how to relate to
people of other racial and cultural groups. We believe the task of
building genuine and authentic relationships across racial and cultural
lines is crucial to the future well-being of America.
Toward
these ends the Center actively encourages participation by white
Americans and Americans of color, women and men, alike. The Center
maintains that the views of both insiders and outsiders contribute to
understanding a culture. The Center also acknowledges that gender, class
and ethnic differences are intertwined with racial ones, and must be
explored as part of a complete study of racial and cultural difference.
