Anti-Racism Learning Opportunity at HWFC: “Under Our Skin” Project: Perspectives on Race & Racism
The HWFC Anti-Racism Committee invites the HWFC community to participate in this online opportunity to reflect on race and racism in our lives and at our co-op.
“Under Our Skin” is a series of videos produced by The Seattle Times in which participants who represent a mix of backgrounds and perspectives share their thoughts and interpretations of different terms related to race and racism. As stated on the “Under Our Skin” website:
“Discussions about race, inclusiveness and sensitivity clearly aren’t new. They can leave us feeling depleted and wondering whether anything has really changed. But we believe the personal reflections and stories from the people who participated in this project will inspire all of us to think and talk about these issues in a deeper way. For those who freeze up at the prospect of talking about race, we hope this project will help break the ice. For those who tend to take sides right away when the issue of race comes up, we hope Under Our Skin will challenge assumptions and build common ground.”
