Technology and Racism Copyright 2024 Ordell Cordova

This is a summary of how Racism has been a part of computer science from the early creation of this technology. From this we will see a need to create our own technology from scratch. This is a huge undertaking but from this evidence, we can see our destruction as Black people deeply embedded.
Technology and Racism
The intertwining of early computing technology with systemic racial biases and injustices reveals a complex and often troubling aspect of technological advancement. This relationship underscores the necessity of confronting and rectifying these legacies as we progress. Here’s a outline focusing more explicitly on the racial implications and historical context:
### The Modern Era: Reckoning with the Past to Rebuild the Future
- Recognizing the historical context and the continuation of systemic biases within technology development is crucial. To dismantle these entrenched inequalities, a concerted effort to "start from scratch" is advocated by Dj Noj, emphasizing the need for:
- **Diverse and Inclusive Teams**: Ensuring representation from historically marginalized communities in technology creation.
- **Ethical Considerations and Bias Mitigation**: Actively working to identify and eliminate biases in algorithms and datasets.
- **Engagement with Affected Communities**: Incorporating perspectives and feedback from those most impacted by technological biases.
### Conclusion
The history of computer technology, when examined through the lens of racial justice, reveals a complex narrative of innovation shadowed by societal inequalities. As we move forward, addressing these issues head-on—by reevaluating the foundations upon which modern technology stands and striving for inclusivity, equity, and justice—becomes imperative.
This process involves not only reimagining the technology itself but also fundamentally transforming the societal structures that influence its development and use.
This evidence shows the urgency to get funding for our team to create a Artificial Intelligence technology that can actually help the whole world.
As we know, but can see here it is impossible for the ones in control of this technology to do what's right for Black people globally.

The Citizens’ Movement to Revive the Spirit of Public Service
^ On July 4th, 2023, The Center for American Studies <www.concord- ium.us> launched WE THE PEOPLE: The Citizens’ Movement to Revive the Spirit of Public Service in Concord, Massachusetts, the crucible of the American Revolution, where the shot was fired “heard ‘round the world.”
The vision of The Citizens’ Movement to Revive the Spirit of Public Service was granted to Stuart-Sinclair Weeks north of Concord in Littleton, NH, on January 6TH and 7th, 2016 during New Hampshire’s primary season at the conclusion of a county political party meeting. At the time, Stuart-Sinclair was managing a NH gubernatorial campaign and had run Dennis Kucinich’s 2000 “First-in-the-Nation” presidential campaign. Stuart-Sinclair’s family had served for the last 9 generations in state or national office.
The Citizens’ Movement offers a response to George Washington’s resounding words from his Farewell Address: “... Let me now take a more comprehensive view and warn you in the most solemn manner against the baneful effects of the Spirit of Party.” Simply expressed, We the People have some catching up to do, a good two centuries and a quarter worth of catching up. The party/parties is/are over, we suggest, drawing to their fitful, divisive, and partisan end.
The purpose of the Citizens’ Movement is to work with progressive leaders in all of our existing parties to lay to rest, put out of its misery, give its last rites, and pay our respects to that divisive partisan spirit that seeks to divide and conquer us, our Dis-United States, that seeks to hold sway over our land.
The Citizens’ Movement to Revive the Spirit of Public Service encourages fellow citizens to step forward and assume the mantle of the Constitutional office to which they feel called. The offices we refer to range from president all the way up to local servants, public servants — in the spirit of Dr. King’s words: “Everybody can be great, because everybody can serve.” Specifically, fellow citizens are called to step forward as standard (flag) bearers and placeholders on behalf of We, The People.
On Patriot’s Day, the 19th of April, 2023, “The Citizens’ Movement to Revive the Spirit of Public Service” was inaugurated at Concord’s historic Old North Bridge, with leaders and representatives of America’s major political parties.

A Guide to AI for Smarter Nonprofits - Dr. Cori Faklaris, UNC CharlotteCori Faklaris
Working with data is a challenge for many organizations. Nonprofits in particular may need to collect and analyze sensitive, incomplete, and/or biased historical data about people. In this talk, Dr. Cori Faklaris of UNC Charlotte provides an overview of current AI capabilities and weaknesses to consider when integrating current AI technologies into the data workflow. The talk is organized around three takeaways: (1) For better or sometimes worse, AI provides you with “infinite interns.” (2) Give people permission & guardrails to learn what works with these “interns” and what doesn’t. (3) Create a roadmap for adding in more AI to assist nonprofit work, along with strategies for bias mitigation.

This report explores the significance of border towns and spaces for strengthening responses to young people on the move. In particular it explores the linkages of young people to local service centres with the aim of further developing service, protection, and support strategies for migrant children in border areas across the region. The report is based on a small-scale fieldwork study in the border towns of Chipata and Katete in Zambia conducted in July 2023. Border towns and spaces provide a rich source of information about issues related to the informal or irregular movement of young people across borders, including smuggling and trafficking. They can help build a picture of the nature and scope of the type of movement young migrants undertake and also the forms of protection available to them. Border towns and spaces also provide a lens through which we can better understand the vulnerabilities of young people on the move and, critically, the strategies they use to navigate challenges and access support.
The findings in this report highlight some of the key factors shaping the experiences and vulnerabilities of young people on the move – particularly their proximity to border spaces and how this affects the risks that they face. The report describes strategies that young people on the move employ to remain below the radar of visibility to state and non-state actors due to fear of arrest, detention, and deportation while also trying to keep themselves safe and access support in border towns. These strategies of (in)visibility provide a way to protect themselves yet at the same time also heighten some of the risks young people face as their vulnerabilities are not always recognised by those who could offer support.
In this report we show that the realities and challenges of life and migration in this region and in Zambia need to be better understood for support to be strengthened and tuned to meet the specific needs of young people on the move. This includes understanding the role of state and non-state stakeholders, the impact of laws and policies and, critically, the experiences of the young people themselves. We provide recommendations for immediate action, recommendations for programming to support young people on the move in the two towns that would reduce risk for young people in this area, and recommendations for longer term policy advocacy.

Thank you for accepting this honorary appointment as a
Five Points Youth Foundation International Advisory
Board Goodwill Ambassador in collaboration with Black
Emergency Managers Association (BEMA) and the
Prevention and Awareness for Community Resiliency in
Emergencies and Disasters (PACRED.org).
We are working together to advocate the United Nations
Global Compact Caring For Climate Campaign 2015-2020
as a demonstration model for Sustainable Development
Goals # 17.16 Multi-Stakeholder Partnerships to “Leave
No One Behind,” specifically:
17.16 Enhance the global partnership for sustainable development, complemented
by multi-stakeholder partnerships that mobilize and share knowledge, expertise, technology
and financial resources, to support the achievement of the sustainable development goals
in all countries, in particular developing countries, underserved communities and people
with unmet needs worldwide [emphasis added]..
People living in the most high-risk and conflict-affected places are also most vulnerable to
the adverse effects of climate change. On September 21, 2015 (International Day of Peace)
we begin building, managing and growing a strategic alliance to identify and register
4,000+ civil society stakeholders (ngos, business associations, labor organizations,
academic institutions and cities) and 1,000 new small and medium-sized enterprises
(SMEs) to the Ten Principles of the United Nations Global Compact to build a Caring 4
Climate worldwide community resiliency network, through business for peace local networks.
Achieving that milestone and momentum thereafter would also give a voice to The Unheard
Voices (TUV) in developing countries and in marginalized communities worldwide for the
Paris COP21 Summit and beyond to the 2016 Earth International Day of Peace, then
annually thereafter in support of the Sustainable Development Agenda
Thanking you, in advance for your heartfelt efforts to help all the people of the world achieve
a collective better future for themselves and the generations to follow.
