"Absent grappling with race in predominantly white communities, we will never get to the point of really addressing these issues and will continue to repeat history." In this episode, hosts Zina Jacque & Jessica Green talk with Nate Rouse, the first Director of Equity, Race & Cultural Diversity Initiatives for Barrington 220 School District. What is he discovering as he steps into this role? They discuss the need for empathy, the value of allies, and the gift of "unsettledness" in moving from awareness to action. Recorded December 2020.
