“In a racist society, it is not enough to be non-racist, we must be anti-racist.”  -Angela Davis

As we navigate our feelings to the violence and protests in spring 2020, let us find ways to take action within our families, communities and classrooms. Let us teach peace and acknowledge that racism exists. Let us listen to people of color and believe people of color. Let us learn from each other and talk with our children about our role and responsibility to end racism.
