Welcome!
We are the Chicago Branch of the Mountaintop Coalition, founded in 2022. Our mission is to support and uplift the voices of BIPOC Chicago Public Schools students interested in studying Latin and/or the Classics.

From the main Mountaintop Coalition Website: "The Mountaintop Coalition was founded in 2018. It is composed of students and scholars of the ancient Mediterranean world and its reception (broadly defined) with a shared interest in advancing the professional goals of Classicists who identify as members of ethnic groups traditionally underrepresented in the field. Such interests will include scholarly approaches to the study of race and ethnicity in antiquity, but the group’s activities will focus on practical issues of diversity, equity, inclusion, and access in professional settings."
