BEING WHO WE WANT OUR CHILDREN TO BECOME

 This issue Yes Magazine is titled “America: The Remix. Can Our Diversity Be Our Strength?” It examines various ways in which roles/relationships have evolved under the umbrella issue of racism. Featured truth tellers Grace Lee Boggs and Robert Jensen talk about how they see the election of Barack Obama having an impact on our future despite the fact that it cannot be seen as the “end ” of an era of racism in the United States.This issue is a MUST for teachers who are examining the issues we face in our country today involving racism not only related to African Americans but the much bigger picture of who we are to be as a people.The issue references a great interactive site : understandingrace.org.
