“Nineteen Fifty-Six's Fall 2024 edition "Folks" was inspired by ideas of community and inclusion. With this issue, our team wanted to create something that sparked meaningful conversations about the power of connection, community, inclusion and belonging. While also exploring how community isn't just one thing. Community can be solidarity or allyship in the face of adversity; it can be mentorship from alums, like Demetrius T. Barksdale, or conversations with community members like Yasmin Rosier and Gary McGee, or fellowshipping with others at the numerous events happening on and off campus.

Join us as we explore how community continues to shape our experiences on and off campus.”
