Ladies and gentlemen, check out this Ferguson resource I put together with the help of some of my friends. Its exclusively at Edutopia, so check it out! We don’t often get the chance to reflect about our misgivings or perceptions of each other. Especially in diverse communities (and I do mean diverse and not just communities of color), we often dodge racial conversations because we pretend that avoiding the subject means peace. Instead, confronting our own prejudices head-on would make us better people and leaders. Understanding the lens through which we see the world and how others see the world will combine to grow a sense of empathy within our communities, so that when conversations like Ferguson do come up, everyone understands how to approach it. Read and share. Thanks! edutopia.org/blog/how-to-teach-beyond-ferguson-jose-vilson
