White guilt is a roadblock to equality, says Robin DiAngelo. It takes race conversations off the table and maintains the status quo. "How do so many of us who are white individually feel so free of racism and yet we live in a society that is so profoundly separate and unequal by race?" asks DiAngelo. Stop feeling bad—that's not productive. Instead, start doing something to dismantle the systemic racism that benefits you at the expense of others.
Dr. Ibram X. Kendi asks educators at the Summer 2019 Standards Institute to consider what it means to be an anti-racist and treat all students equitably.
“Challenging Systemic Barriers: The Equity Lens” is a video series divided into three parts. Participants may choose to view all three parts together or separately. The videos should be viewed in order, as each part builds on the last.
