For the past year, I've written about and discussed how the reenacting community can create a better, more inclusive environment. While my focus tends to lean towards Michigan reenacting, the Dickens Fair is an incredibly important event for the costuming community as a whole.
LaToya is an amazing person; she and her organization deserve 100% support from all communities, historical costuming and otherwise. Please take the time to sign the petition, as well as contact the Dickens leadership. There is also contact information to send support to the black affinity group.
Sign the Petition
If you need help constructing a letter/email, let me know. It would also be awesome if you can share the petition online and encourage others to do so. If we want the reenacting/costuming community to be better, we need to put in some work to make it happen.
