Not only is this a good read, I'm told that's a really well done logo. https://blogs.egu.eu/divisions/gd/2020/06/10/black-in-geosciences/

The American Astronomical Society (AAS) endorses the grassroots effort to #ShutDownSTEM on Wednesday,10 June 2020.
The American Astronomical Society created this resource with links to educational and actionable items regarding today’s day of action.
This is not a letter that has been days, weeks, or even months in the making. As Black, Brown, Indigenous, and Asian/Pacific Islander scientists, we have known the pain of racism for the entirety of our careers. We recall the silence from the scientific community in the aftermaths of the killings of Tony McDade, Nina…
In the wake of recent events, a number of organizations have declared today to be "Shut down STEM" day, a day for Academia to focus on making science more equitable and available to everyone while working to grasp with the legacies of colonialism and racism in the past. This page will be joining in today by sharing resources and materials to illustrate and educate on this matter.

Meet Louis Purnell, a WWII Aviator who went on to catalog samples for the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History, but who was then forced out of that museum after his colleagues would not allow him to publish samples that he had recorded and identified. He went on to a successful career working at the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum, doing the sort of work he was forced out of doing in the geosciences.
Call for a Robust Anti-Racism Plan for The Geosciences
If you're working as a professional geoscientist, this petition not only would be worth your time to sign, but there are also a variety of recommendations in the text for things that our whole field can do to grapple with the legacies we have been featuring today.

We are a group of Geoscience graduate students, faculty, and researchers spanning multiple institutions who are passionate about improving equity and access in our field. We read all the time for science, so why not read to educate ourselves about equity? So often we predominantly ask the under represented groups in our communities to do the work of educating us, yet we educate ourselves and each other all the time in a range of topics related to our disciplines.Â
This page is intended to reduce redundancy by compiling resources we often share, and be a repository of material including: 1) the background of inequity in STEM higher ed, 2) particular Geoscience/Earth Science equity issues, and 3) strategies and resources for facilitating hard conversations. At this time, we hope you will add to the libraries and use these ideas to start conversations within your communities.

A story that is another example of why today matters. There is a large iron meteorite on display right now at the American Museum of Natural History in New York. It turns out that Meteorite was stolen from its original owners in Greenland and brought to New York by force, along with several people "For study"...most of whom died quite rapidly.
