HELPING MIDDLE AGE WHITE PEOPLE UNDERSTAND SYSTEMIC RACISIM

The Reading Instruction Show by Dr. Andy Johnson

Episode notes

I am not an expert in critical race theory or systemic racism. I am a middle age white guy trying to come to grips with systemic racism and contribute where I can. I am just an old literacy professor trying to do my part. I may not get it just right, but I am trying. In this podcast, I will try to explain some things in ways that help some people to better understand. I don’t have complete enlightenment – and again - I may not get it just right -- but I’m trying. I refuse to abdicate my responsibility to do what I can on the issue of racial equity.

John Lewis said, when you see something wrong, say something and do something.

There is something wrong. No let me say something.
