    Over the past five years — at the request of concerned independent school educators, and with funding from independent schools and a grant from the National Institute of Mental Health — we've conducted extensive research on the experiences of African-American students in independent schools.

    Seems to me that you should report on these findings to the Administrative Team in the very near future. Bob

    Last year's report and conversation around the need for affinity group dialogue with the administrative team included statistics and plenty of personal and national stories pointing to the importance of addressing race/culture and learning, particularly as it relates to a discussion around whiteness and the culture of "niceness" within our schools. This article is 8 years old and not much has changed at many schools. Thanks for reading it! Please pass along to your team colleagues if you can?

  • I learned in law school, and it is still true today, that it is the color of the victim, not the perpetrator, that is the one of the greatest determinants in criminal sentencing. 
  • they have no idea what it is like for black parents to have to prepare their children to deal with a public that often still judges them by the color of their skin.
  • when you walk out of the safety, protection and loving arms of our home, you are walking while black, and only our prayers can protect you then.
