What Makes Me White?
Last week I went to monthly the Diversity Committee where we
watched a thought provoking, perceptive film followed by a question and answer
session with the filmmaker. The movie
talked about the filmmaker’s personal journey—how racism was subtly and
indelibly taught to her as a small child, how she realized the sickness, and what she is doing about it.
Many of us asked the filmmaker, how do I move forward? How do I become aware of things that, as
white person, I have taken for granted? How do I talk about race?
One of the things that she told us to do was read and view
more. So here is a list of highlights from our collection to help us do
that.
