What we all need to know about Racism
“Race and racism have rightfully been at the forefront of most people’s mind because of the attention recently being paid to it. It is sad that it took a cluster of public injustices and travesties to bring it to the forefront. Racism causes inequality and damages not only those people affected by it but society as a whole. The outcry started in the United States but is now being heard and displayed all over the globe. Read more.... Please share with others who may benefit.” Dr. Michelle Maidenberg
Rachel Cargle, an anti-racism activist and educator recently posted a sign from a protest that captures an important reminder:
"Treat racism like you treat COVID 19:
1. Assume you have it
2. Recognize that you are not an expert about it and listen to experts about it
3. Don't spread it
4. Be willing to change your life to end it."
Here is an important collection of resources, compiled and curated by Sophia Aguirre, Ph.D., CGP.
