I really enjoyed the webinar, Embracing Anti-Bias Classrooms: A Response to Racism in America. It was so eye-opening for me as a teacher who teaches very young children. I work in a nonprofit homeless shelter for families with dependents, with over 90% being young black children. I am always advocating that until these families are empowered within they will repeat this cycle. I struggle in life as a black female in school because I was a sharecropper grandchild, whose grandparents were not educated themselves. After school was integrated I was instructed by my white teacher to take the base classes in school because college was not an option for me. Thanks to all the ladies who shared life on this webinar keep the good work up.
