April 2021: Book Club Discussion
Guided by thoughtful questions, this two-part discussion prompted participants to reflect not only on the themes from the book, but also on the impact of systemic racism on their lives and the lives of their students. Educators across the region were able to connect and share stories and insights, while reflecting on how we are affected by the caste system in America and what each of us can do to change the narrative.
