White Privilege Conference

White Privilege 101 is a fantastic teaching tool! The video, along with the workbook, is easily one of the very best resources available on this topic. They provide a clear, honest, and workable way to start to engage people in a direct discussion of white privilege and what to do about it. You can't watch the video and say "I don't get it" because the examples are so good, varied, and come from a such variety of folks. I can't wait to use this with a class.

An excellent, practical and much needed resource! White Privilege 101’s diverse voices and perspectives are very effective in helping white people cut through denial and guilt to look at the core issues of race and privilege. This is a powerful and insightful video that invites white people to seriously consider the consequences of their beliefs and actions. The White privilege 101 video promotes critical thinking and engagement, insight and response in white people. It needs to be widely seen.

I thought the video was an excellent and concise summary of the key issues relating to “white privilege” “White Privilege 101” with the accompanying workbook is an excellent catalyst for discussion as well as a teaching aide to structure the dialogue about this often neglected issue of White privilege. It will be a useful tool in educational settings, corporate environments in faith communities, civic and political settings or any environment where people work with people and the issue of race is either recognized or remains the elephant in the middle of the room. It’s an excellent tool for instruction or just awakening people to the issues involved.

The recently released DVD, White Privilege 101, is a marvelous introduction to the topic and a resource for all those who work in multicultural education and diversity. Featuring participants at the only white privilege conference in the country, viewers see young people, as well as established practitioners, and educators sharing the conversation that brings us together to fight oppression. I will use it in the classroom, as well as at diversity workshops in organizations. It teaches, it motivates, it encourages continued action, and it is an invitation to all to come in person to be part of the community.

I believe that there is no more important area of exploration at this time in the United States and even the world than that of white skin privilege. In order have this important discussion we must listen to the voices of people of color and white people concerned with social justice telling their stories, expressing their ideas, describing their worlds. White Privilege 101 DVD and its accompanying booklet are perfect for getting such a discussion going, for making real plans for change and for generating activism in the areas of racial, class and gender equity. I have used many visual aids and videos over the years of my work in inclusiveness and diversity in education and this is by far the best. It accomplishes so much in 42 minutes toward creating awareness on the part of those new to these concepts and a deeper understanding on the part of those already engaged in this work. It is essential for every school, business, university and social agency..
