Below we share just a few of the many online resources to help educate yourself on Black culture, history and racism in America. If you can’t read now, bookmark it for later:  Your eyes can be opened by just one follow.  

 

  • Check out and do some reading about the New York Times’ 1619 Project: The 1619 Project is an ongoing initiative from The New York Times Magazine that began in August 2019, the 400th anniversary of the beginning of American slavery. It aims to reframe the country’s history by placing the consequences of slavery and the contributions of black Americans at the very center of our national narrative. Read more about the 1619 project here. 

 

  • If you have some sort of platform, hand the microphone over to a person of color this week.  If you don’t have a large platform, share the perspective of a person of color on your account or in a class you teach.

 

  • Follow a new activist of color on social media with the intention of listening and learning.

 

 

 

 

Looking to dig a little deeper? Here’s our challenge: 

Research a famous person of color from your town/state, write a short paper on them, and share it with a friend, discussion group or platform.

The facilitator draws in and wraps up each point – he was very effective in addressing key points and leading the discussion.

I appreciated the chance to actually interact with the characters and see how they feel and think.

Many other discussions/performances are very general, but this performance led to a very nuanced discussion of communication.

Interactive Theater is a very interesting, novel way to teach ethics. These were very relatable issues.

The open conversation allowed for many ideas to be shared and a deeper understanding to develop.

After experiencing this performance, I intend to become an advocate rather than sitting in the shadows.
