Here are the basic points from Larissa's article:
Our words and actions must match.
Reading options for students must be broadened to provide wider perspectives from other races and cultures.
Conversations are necessary... even, and especially, the ones around 'difficult' topics. Listening is a big and necessary element for meaningful conversations.
Have the courage (and flexibility) to explore new and different ideas.
Self-reflection is essential... without self-reflection there is no way to recognize and catch our biases (which we all have... all of us.). Yeah, that's a tough one, but really important for moving forward.
Media, used with critical thinking and discernment, can be a valuable resource.
FACT: the work is never ending. And because 'whites' created the racist problems, it's on us to be proactive in its mitigation.
