Third-year History undergraduate student A’viyon Robinson was selected as a 2025 HLAB Fellow with The Johns Hopkins University’s Humanities Collaboratory. This residential fellowship in Baltimore, MD, allowed A’viyon to conduct original archival research and pursue interests in librarianship and cultural preservation. She researched the prevalence and impact of environmental racism on Black Americans in the southern United States, which she wrote about in the 2025 Newsletter. The summer concluded with presentations of “From Pollution Comes Perseverance: Black American Responses to Environmental Racism Through Robert D. Bullard’s Dumping in Dixie (2001)” at both the 2025 Hopkins Summer Research Symposium and the Leadership Alliance National Symposium summer conference. A’viyon works with projects at the Center for Public History and made the Fall 2025 Dean’s List.
