I believe that we do ourselves and our nation an injustice by not giving the truth in its entirety on the topic of racism. We have to do better. By changing our educational system, and our systemic structures to adapt where we would like to be would make a significant contribution to anti-racism practices, but there would still be push back from those who refuse to believe. There is a significant amount of individuals who benefit from our country's racism practices, and those individuals statically show remain in power and control a vast majority of funding and income in our nation. It will take all of us to educate ourselves and those around us of the injustices people have faced as well as we all have faced by not being told the whole story.
It is all about education. This first module has made me see that now more than ever. I didn't realize how little I knew until recently.
