Fresh from the Hill: Inside Stories of Noteworthy Cornellians
Society & Culture
Check your privilege. It’s a phrase that you’ve likely heard, but what does it really mean? Prior to her involvement in Cornell’s Intergroup Dialogue Project (IDP), Sydney Mann ’18 didn’t like the term. Who’s to judge what privilege one may have based on the color of their skin? But through having tough conversations and listening instead of taking up space in those talks, Sydney started to understand the privilege white women hold in America. She now devotes her time to allyship through her work with From Privilege to Progress and in her personal life.
“When you have a white person uplifting a person of color or somebody who’s marginalized, more white people are going to listen.”
