Centralia - A lesson unlearned. Taken less than 1/4 mile from the smoke escaping the undergraound coal fire.
Repost from @moemotivate. I can’t emphasize this enough. Anti-racism is a lifelong practice. It’s a daily quest to learn and unlearn. It’s a on-going commitment. It is not about being a good person or feeling good about yourself, it’s about doing the right thing.
...
It’s about centering the pain and progress of Black people and people of color. It’s about identifying and eliminating racism from attitudes, beliefs, systems, structures and culture and redistributing resources equitably. It’s about humanity.
...
And therefore it’s a life long commitment that has no destination, just on-going growth and progress. It’s not an identity or a achievement...it’s a daily practice of choosing to dismantle white supremacy, identifying and relinquishing white privilege and breaking down these structures that dehumanize us.
...
It’s about coming to a place where we can all live freely in our full humanity. Thus it’s not something you are or become, but it’s something you actively choose to do—daily. So I ask you, what are you doing TODAY to prioritize anti-racism? Repost from @moemotivate.

Comment ‘Amen’ if you agree.

Exploring Race, Representation, and History in Children's Literature
May 19, 2018
This session for early childhood teachers, hosted by Project Unlearn and Teaching for Change's D.C. Area Educators for Social Justice, provided time for early childhood teachers to explore how to address issues of race, representation, and history in developmentally appropriate ways.
Many teachers face either the pressures to avoid difficult topics or to plunge in with little consideration of what is best for children at each stage of their development. This session provided time for teachers to explore and discuss these issues surrounded by children's books in the beautiful Halcyon Lab.

I’m down in Disney World today for a keynote, and so of of course, imagination is a theme!
Folks who succeed pursue big dreams and bold visions – and to fuel their dreams, they are fuelled by the energy from a vivid imagination. Many of us aren’t taught how to be imaginative; much of the structure that surrounds us seems designed to hold us back, and make us conform.
That’s why I suggested a degree program known as the “Masters in Business Imagination.”
Here’s what I wrote.
The Masters in Business Imagination which will inspire your team to adopt relentless creativity and innovation as core virtues. Once you ‘graduate’ from his MBI class, you’ll possess the skills common to this critical degree of the 21st century economy, by linking your initiatives to a carefully calibrated curriculum of change-oriented thinking.
MBI’s see things differently – they don’t look at things like most people. MBI’s spur creativity in other people – they inspire others to develop similar levels of imaginative thinking. They focus on opportunity – not threat, and realize that action, not inaction, is the driving force for the future. They refuse to accept the status quo and are prepared to eliminate habit. MBI’s bring big ideas to life – and paint pictures of where the organization is going to go, rather than focusing on where it has been in the past. They learn and unlearn, forgoing the dangerous assumption that what they know today will carry them into tomorrow. Most important of all, they refuse to say the word CAN’T.
They know that barriers, perceived or otherwise, are simply temporary roadblocks that they can get around with fresh insight, imaginative analysis, and creative thinking!

LEST WE REVEL IN APATHY ! 1ST October, 1999 .
And perhaps right now we are having our meal in the mess or chatting over coffee cups in the Ganga Dhaba. How many of us are really bothered about the hunger strikers entering into the 14th day of their human struggle? How many of us do really care about the implications of the VC's petition in the court ? As the VC tries to belie all that the very notion of an university stands for i.e., tolerance, innovation, critique .
The spectre of a court order attempts to delimit the very space within which and of course, freedom. .
dialogue and discourse become meaningful. To stifle the blossoming voice of dissent. We can no longer .
afford to be ostriches hidipg our heads in the sands and hoping that the stonn wil1 pass us by. .
"There wUl be time and there wiU be time, .
To prepare a face to meetthefaces that you meet". .
.
Yes, friends, it is neither a partisan agitation nor a defence of our common rights that constrains us to .
address you, thus, it is far more fundamental -it is the defense of freedom. The right to protest. To dissent. .
Basically to think independently. .
Bursting out of the narrow confines of personal and partisan prejudices, we need to consolidate these plural .
independent voices into a critical space, which alone can redeem us from this inhuman apathy. It is time, .
friends, we begin to unlearn apathy. We don't ask you to join the protest; we urge you to begin it. .
Projit (111 SemiM.AJCHS) bas entered his 4th day ofindefmite hunger strike. In the relay hunger .

Earlier in lhe movement, NSUI's attempts to slander the hunger strikers was decried by all, including the JNUSU. But when SF!. m its leatlet, slandered the students, many of them freshers, who braved police arrests, by calling them "intilntile ultras" and blammg them for the police action, the JNUSU was silent.

My "Once Removed" series (a sequel to my earlier series “Ain't I a Woman”) explores the stories of women who were only generations removed from the bonds of slavery, when millions of African-American former slaves fled the South in search of a better life for themselves and their descendants. With their first taste of freedom, they headed north and west in a “Great Migration” that changed the face of America forever. Those who critique attempts at teaching history's truth have suggested that white children might experience shame when confronted with lessons on systemic racism. But for me, shame comes from not knowing the truth and in having to unlearn a history that has taught less than the whole story. To teach a more complete history is to bring back the voices of those who have been intentionally silenced. The time is now to lift every voice.
Using 100 year old historical portraits which often feel strikingly modern, along with period documents, textures from my drawing and paintings, layered with pages from a 1919 antique book, "The Trees of Pennsylvania," I hope to create images that give voice to stories too long silent and restore dignity to women striving to escape their chains, both literal and figurative. I am creating select pieces from this series as mixed media collage works finished in cold wax to further explore the layering of time and memory as these women went on to create wide-growing family trees, putting down roots in fertile new lands.
INDIAN ACADEMY SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES celebrated Achievers' Day 2017
“The key to realizing a dream is to focus not on success but significance and then even the small steps and little victories along your path will take on greater meaning” - Oprah Winfrey
IASMS strives to provide opportunities for students to participate in student impromptu speaking, debates, Business Plan presentations and cultural programs, all of which focus on overall student development. These small initiatives trigger confidence and the essence of team spirit that play a vital role in shaping the future of our MBA students.
14th June 2017, marked the Achievers Day celebrations recognizing the efforts of the students who excelled in various academic and non-academic inter class MBA competitions. The program was presided over by our honorable Chairman, Dr. T. Somasekhar. The program included a brief report of M.B.A. department activities presented by our Director, Dr. Rajasekar. This was followed by a beautiful video highlighting major activities organized by the department in the current semester. The prizes to the winners of various events were handed over by our Chairman and our Director. In his presidential speech our Chairman, Dr. T. Somasekhar emphasized on how education is exploring oneself and not merely confined to knowledge accumulation. As long as we consider ourselves a student all our life, we would benefit from learning the new and unlearning the old was the wisdom that he shared with our students. The event concluded with the students expressing their wholehearted appreciation and positive feedback for the events organized.

Respect Women's Autonomy! Respect Her Right Over Her Own Body and Mind, and Her Right to.
Say NO!.
An Agenda for Gender Sensitisation.
Seen the latest Tata Sky ad?.
A young man builds up towards asking his male friend if he can take the latter's sister out to dinner..
There is a tense silence as the sister (sitting demure and silent with downcast eyes) and the young.
man wait for the brother's rage to explode. Then the brother says gruffly, "Yes, but bring her back.
before 10 pm.".
The `humour' in the ad draws from the possibility of the brother's violent rage..
.
What is it that makes us, as a society, consider it perfectly normal for a brother to control the.
movements and choices of his sister?.
`Rakshabandhan' is a popular festival to celebrate the bond (of protection) between brother and.
sister. But the Tata Sky ad reminds us that `Raksha' (protection) is more than a bond of affection -.
it is in fact a bondage. That pretty rakhi is actually a fetter. In the past few months there have been.
any number of instances from different states of brothers chopping off the heads of their sisters.
(because the latter had a sexual relationship of which the brother disapproved). The Tata Sky ad.
doesn't seem that funny anymore when you recall how the Yadav brothers killed Nitish Katara for.
daring to love their sister..
.
Think of the Government's move to raise the age of consent from 16 to 18 - in the context of these.
violent brothers. If the age of consent were to be 18, and consensual relationships of young people.
between 16-18 to be automatically branded as rape/sexual violence, with third parties allowed to.
file statutory rape complaints, every possessive brother will use the law to get the sister's male.
classmate/friend/boyfriend arrested for rape! The more so if the boyfriend in question is from a.
dalit/oppressed caste background while the girl is not!.
.
What kind of `sensitisation' does GSCASH (and other institutions outside JNU) need to do?.
In the name of `gender sensitisation', Gillette runs an ad asking men to be `soldiers' to protect.
women. It's another matter that actual `soldiers' often rape women, and men who believe they.
have to `protect' women end up policing her own freedom, like the protective brother in the ad!.
`Raksha' by men becomes a real `bandhan' (bondage) for women..
.
Sensitisation isn't about teaching some abstract concepts of gender justice. Sensitisation is actually.
a project of `unlearning' what society teaches us about gender. Perhaps the most important lesson.
of sensitisation has to be the one of autonomy..
.
· Brothers have to learn the difficult lesson that they have neither right nor duty to be their.
sisters' guardians. That their sisters have every right to have friends, wear clothes, go where.
they wish, without seeking `permission' from their brother!.
..
"Living with “fill-in-the-blank” taught me that it was best not to hope for anything. The lessons were too painful – I would get excited about something, only to have my hopes shattered. As time passed and hope diminished, I fell deeper into despair. Eventually I shut down my feelings and refused to care or to hope for anything at all.
I am now discovering a spirituality that allows me to believe that there is every reason to hope. Regardless of my circumstances, I can feel fully alive in the moment and enjoy this feeling. The painful lessons of a lifetime are not unlearned overnight, but I am learning that it is safe to feel, to hope, even to dream.
It is risky to care – I may be disappointed. But in trying to protect myself from pain, I could cut myself off from the many delights that life has to offer. I will live more fully today." - (Redacted "Courage to Change")
