    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?

  • 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.
