Documenting my journey in co-teaching a course on Civil Rights. Join me as I learn more each day about how I can fight white supremacy and transform myself and, I hope, others.

Why?

• I have the privilege of being white, cis, and hetero
• I need to use this privilege to fight social injustice
• Fighting racism is a journey in the self and society
• White supremacy destroys everyone

“I imagine one of the reasons people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone, they will be forced to deal with pain.” – James Baldwin

• White people need to have difficult conversations about race
• Blogging about my journey forces me to go public with what I am learning about myself and society
• Others may find a sense of discomfort in reading this and deep learning comes from discomfort
• I hope my students see from my blog that opening oneself up to learn, deep self-reflection, and taking action will transform their lives.
