Hearing each participant and facilitator reflect on the impacts of systemic racism in their own lives and witnessing the expansion of everyone's understanding was profound.

One of the challenges is to really understand the racial inequities in our community. The geographic specificity [and] the sharing of real life stories through various media was super impactful.

I have been sharing information learned [in the workshop] with my children, explaining examples from the past and present and pointing out how their own privilege shows up in their lives.

Being able to voice vulnerabilities and ask questions without judgment was an amazing opportunity.

I believe this course and others like it will be very beneficial in helping individuals like myself improve their understanding of how they can change/help in this area.

The "History" and the "Action" pieces were particularly impactful. I appreciated how thorough and specific the history section was - it was a great introduction to locally powerful history.
