Caleb Dawson, ISSI affliated graduate student and former Graduate Fellow, discusses being tokenized in during his K-12 schooling and how this served as his fuel to take initiative to make change in the communities he was a part of. These experiences motivate his dissertation research on "anti-blackness and the equity work of Black people at UC Berkeley" as well as his leadership of Black Lives at Cal, a project to research, preserve and publicize the legacy of Black people at UC Berkeley.
