Dismantling Racism: Watch 13th!



The anti-bias, anti-racist committee at our school hosted a showing of the film, 13th. It's an in-depth look at the prison system in the United States and how it reveals the nation's history of racial inequality. 

I highly recommend it! Very difficult to watch, but incredibly important. 

Also, this post about white supremacy culture is a lot to take in. I'm still processing it (and will be for a while).

    Yes, I just re-watched 13th with my husband. The second time around I had my notebook by my side. Some related suggested reading: Ta-Nehisi Coates, The Case for Reparations (The Atlantic) and his book Between the World and Me.

I promise I am open to feedback and truly appreciate hearing others' insights into my choices (it's like free therapy!), but please say it in the same way you would say it if we were sitting across from each other at brunch or next to each other on a park bench while our children play.
