A
View
this
foundational
material
as
they
continue
to
go
through
this
journey
in
other
sessions
and
then
during
a
q,
a
which
will
be
towards
the
end
of
our
programming
today.
If
you
could
just
simply
either
raise
your
hand
like
this
or
use
the
zoom
feature
to
raise
your
hand,
we
will
happily
call
on
you
to
take
your
questions.
A
She
is
near
and
dear
to
my
heart,
she's,
a
member
of
my
community,
and
she
also
has
served
as
a
leader
in
the
early
childhood
space
for
nearly
40
years.
Her
life
work
has
centered
on
ensuring
children
have
access
to
high
quality
early
childhood
programs
and
that
they
are
developmentally
and
culturally
appropriate
she's.
A
And
if
you
don't
know,
she
also
does
a
segment
on
one
of
our
local
news
channels
that
weekly
segment,
which
is
fantastic
and
I'll,
try
to
dig
a
link
for
that
and
drop
that
in
the
chat
box
as
well,
because
the
learning
is
just
non-stop.
So
please
join
me
in
welcoming
dr
rosemarie
allen
to
the
ncsl
stage
for
the
first
time
and
rosemary.
Welcome
and
the
floor
is
all
yours.
B
Thank
you
so
much.
I
am
super
excited
to
be
here.
As
donna
said,
we
have
a
lot
a
lot
of
material
to
cover
a
couple
of
warnings.
One.
I
love
that
you've
received
the
trigger
warning
that
some
of
our
topics
may
be
uncomfortable,
but
I
promise
that
there's
no
shaming
or
blaming
and
no
one
will
walk
away
wounded.
My
hope
is
that
we
all
walk
away
informed.
B
This
is
not
a
passive
workshop,
so
I
do
expect
you
to
be
fully
engaged
in
asking
questions
I'll
answer
in
the
chat
boxes
as
much
as
possible
and
then
to
save
those
questions.
If
you
have
them
that
are
more
extensive
for
the
end
of
the
workshop,
but
one
of
the
things
that
I've
learned
is
that
we
we
talk
about
equity
and
inequities,
a
lot,
but
rarely
do
we
go
back
and
look
at
the
history
of
inequities
in
america.
So
many
times
you
look
at
the
news,
especially
today,
and
you
wonder
how
did
we
get
here?
B
B
B
C
B
B
I
just
want
to
stop
for
a
moment
to
make
sure
you're
recording,
okay,
we're
98
alike,
so
that
means
that
my
heart
will
beat
in
the
heart
of
anyone,
regardless
of
race.
As
long
as
the
blood
type
and
tissue
stuff
match
race
is
all
made
up
again,
we
are
more
alike
than
we
are
different
and
once
you
peel
back
the
skin,
we
are
basically
all
the
same.
B
So
race
was
completely
made
up
to
classify
human
beings.
Now,
although
race
is
a
social
construct,
it's
really
important
to
understand
that,
because
there's
a
classification
there
is
a
high
value
placed
on
white
skin
above
other
skin.
So
even
though
it's
made
up
socially,
there
is
value
based
on
race.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that's
clear.
So
what
came
first
did
race
come
before
racism?
This
is
another
poll
true
or
false.
B
B
Tahanisi
cult
says
that
racism
is
the
parent
and
race
is
the
child,
and
race
and
racism
begin
with
the
opportunism
to
hold
power
and
wealth,
and
racism
is
what
led
to
slavery,
and
it
resulted
in
this
creation
of
race
to
create
a
wedge
between
classes.
Remember
we
talked
about
that
classification
system
in
order
to
justify
the
institution
of
slavery
and
it's
embedded
into
our
practices,
fictitious
sciences
and
policies
to
hold
on
to
the
ability
to
dehumanize
people
so
that
you
could
enslave
them
for
free
labor
and
it
led
to
widespread
prejudices
and
biases.
B
B
So
what
happened
then,
if
a
father
impregnated
an
enslaved
african,
then
that
child
would
be
free
because
the
father
was
free,
but
they
found
that
that
did
not
work
during
the
times
of
slavery.
So
they
enacted
this
law
in
1662
of
hereditary
slavery,
which
meant
that
the
status
of
the
mother
determined
the
status
of
the
child
and
that's
really
important
to
know
because
children
of
enslaved
women
were
automatically
given
the
title
of
slave.
B
So
what
happened
is
this
is
how
america
was
able
to
build
its
slave
population.
It
laid
the
foundation
for
the
natural
increase
of
the
enslaved
people
here
in
america
and
it
legitimized
the
exploitation
of
female
slaves
by
white
planters
or
other
men.
So
when
the
law
changed
that,
if
the
when
the
masters
raped
enslaved
women,
their
children
became
enslaved
people,
so
this
is
really
really
important
for
us
to
know
how
slavery
continued
to
grow
long
after
the
slave
trade
even
ended.
B
Okay,
this
is
amazing.
I
am
just
so
impressed
with
you
all
100
of
the
people
who
responded
said
that's
false
and
it
is
false
and
it's
really
important
that
we
understand
that
it's
false,
because
you'll
hear
especially
from
some
of
your
constituents
or
even
within
your
own
families
and
communities.
Why
are
we
talking
about
slavery?
It
was
so
long
ago.
B
It
was
the
end
of
forced
labor
as
it
existed
at
during
that
period,
but
right
after
slavery,
we
had
almost
90
years
of
segregation,
jim
crow,
mass
incarceration
and
we're
still
fighting
for
social
justice
and
equity
and
equality,
and
it
was
only
in
1954
that
this
idea
that
black
people
and
other
people
of
color
are
actually
equal
that
we're
all
equals
in
america.
That's
my
lifetime
donna
says
I
am
only
four
generations
removed
from
slavery,
which
means
that
her
second
great-grandparent
was
enslaved.
B
C
The
united
states
is
often
called
the
great
melting
pot,
but
it's
a
country,
that's
struggled
with
race
relations
throughout
its
history
and
still
does
today,
a
2015,
cnn
and
kaiser
family
foundation
poll
found
about
half
of
americans.
Think
racism
is
a
big
problem,
one
that
doesn't
seem
to
be
getting
better.
Two-Thirds
said.
Racial
tensions
in
the
united
states
had
increased
over
the
last
decade.
C
Blacks
and
hispanics
were
also
far
more
likely
than
whites
to
say
that
they
had
been
unfairly
treated
in
the
last
month
in
a
public
place
such
as
a
restaurant
or
in
a
store
because
of
their
race.
Segregation
is
still
a
reality
as
well
at
work
and
at
home.
Sixty
percent
of
whites
said
their
work.
Colleagues
were
all
or
mostly
white
and
close
to
seventy
percent
of
whites,
either
their
social
circle
or
their
neighborhood
was
mostly
white.
C
C
B
Interesting,
isn't
it
when
you
think
about
the
way
things
were
during
the
brown
versus
board
of
education
decision?
Do
you
know
that
we
are
more
segregated
now
than
we
were,
then
we
are
very,
very
segregated
in
america.
Even
look
at
our
schools,
where
more
than
80
percent
of
teachers
are
white,
there
are
children
who
never
get
to
see
a
person
of
color
in
the
position
of
authority
until
they're
adults
and
that's
a
problem.
B
B
Cafeteria,
workers,
janitors
bus
drivers,
front
office
workers,
so
they've
not
had
an
opportunity
to
interact
with
people
of
color
who
have
authority
over
them,
and
it
creates
lots
of
issues
when
they're
an
adult.
So
representative
tana
sin-
and
I
hope
I'm
saying
that
right
said
broken
families
seems
like
a
loaded
term.
Isn't
that
why
white
construct?
Two?
Yes,
absolutely
absolutely.
It
is
because
families
aren't
broken
and
families
don't
need
to
be
fixed.
And
those
of
you
who
who
may
remember
terms
when
we
think
about
terms
you
know
what
were
the
before
single
parents.
B
Children
were
illegitimate
if
you
remember
that
they
were
illegitimate.
But
then,
when
white
mothers
began
to
be
single
heads
of
household,
they
became
single
families.
So
we
want
to
be
very,
very
concerned
and
very
conscious
of
the
terms
that
we
use.
You
know
we
know
that
things
are
not
better
today,
but
I
want
to
introduce
you
to
jamal
and
we're
going
to
walk
through
the
rest
of
our
presentation
through
jamal's
eyes
and
his
families.
B
So,
let's
take
a
look
at
jamal,
he's
been
suspended
from
three
preschools
and
he's
tested
as
gifted
and
talented,
but
he's
also
disciplined
a
lot
for
being
too
active,
and
what
we
know
is
that
black
boys
are
more
likely
to
be
suspended
from
school
than
any
other
demographic,
dr
walter
gilliam,
who
conducted
the
first
suspension
study
for
preschools
preschoolers
and
is
now
conducting
amazing
studies.
He
talks
about
three
b's.
B
Three
b's
is
being
a
boy
being
a
big
boy
being
a
black
boy.
I
added
a
d
to
that.
So
it's
three
b's
and
a
d
being
a
big
black
boy
with
disabilities
you're
the
most
likely
to
be
suspended
from
school,
and
we
know
that
suspended
children
are
10
times
more
likely
to
enter
the
juvenile
justice
system,
and
we
also
know
that
black
boys
who
are
raised
in
wealthy
families
earn
less
as
adults
than
white
boys
in
similar
backgrounds.
B
Well,
let's
take
a
look
back
so
representative.
Drummond
says
how
the
heck
does
suspension
from
preschool
work
representative.
You
will
be
absolutely
shocked
if
you
get
a
chance
to
look
at
my
ted
talk,
donna
if
you
can,
or
someone
can
put
a
link
in
the
chat
box,
not
only
are
preschoolers
suspended,
but
infants
and
toddlers.
B
B
Shortly
after
that
was
the
naturalization
act
and
it
set
the
criteria
for
naturalization
to
two
years
of
residency,
proof
of
good
moral
character
and
an
oath
to
support
the
constitution.
So
this
essentially
gave
white
immigrants,
citizenship
and
the
right
to
vote
and
gave
them
political
power.
Representative
german
says
this
is
outrageous.
Alaska's
population
is
about
16
alaska
native
with
many
communities.
100
alaska
native,
our
black
population,
is
maybe
3
percent,
but
the
inequities
persist.
Thank
you
for
sharing
that.
B
B
Then,
in
the
meantime,
we
had
several
more
acts
that
were
enacted
in
1830
the
indian
removal
act.
It
was
signed
into
law
and
unauthorized,
the
president
to
grant
unsettled
lands
west
of
the
mississippi
in
exchange
for
indian
lands
within
existing
state
borders
and
the
few
years
after
that
was
the
treaty
of
guadalupe,
and
it
ended
the
war
between
the
u.s
and
mexico
and
mexico
ended
up
seeding,
55
percent
of
its
territory,
including
parts
of
what's
now
known
as
arizona,
california,
new
mexico,
texas,
colorado,
nevada
and
utah
to
the
united
states.
B
You
may
want
to
read
more
about
this
treaty
of
guadalupe
and
to
see
how
it
still
impacts
our
mexican
immigrants
and
citizens
here
today
and
some
of
the
trauma
that's
still
in
their
dna
and
also
you
may
want
to
do
a
little
research
to
find
out
how
this
entire
treaty
was
designed
actually
to
expand
slavery.
You
might
want
to
take
a
peek
at
that,
and
then
we
had
the
1862
homestead
act,
which
granted
160
acres
of
federal
land
to
u.s
citizens,
and
was
it
federal
land
is
what
we
have
to
ask?
B
Who
did
the
land
really
belong
to,
and
did
it
have
something
to
do
with
the
indian
removal
act?
So
you
may
want
to
put
that
together
and
they
granted
this
land
to
any
u.s
citizen,
and
it
was
virtually
free
if
that
person
lived
on
the
land
for
five
years
and
improved
the
land
by
building
a
home
or
producing
a
crop,
and
this
legislation
was
intended
to
give
incentive
to
really
settle
the
western
frontier
and
aid
in
the
continuing
territorial
expansion
of
the
united
states
during
the
19th
century.
B
People,
what
were
the
barriers
that
kept
them
from
being
free,
truly
free?
What
supports
were
provided
to
the
formerly
enslaved
and
what
supports
were
needed
so,
while
you're
thinking
about
that
this,
just
there's
just
a
couple
of
things
that
I
want
to
say
you
hear
me
say:
enslaved
people
or
enslaved
africans.
It's
really
important
again
to
make
sure
we
use
language
that
tells
the
story,
the
true
story.
People
say:
oh
the
slaves.
They
they
brought
slaves
over
from
africa.
They
actually
didn't
bring
slaves
over.
They
brought
people
over.
B
B
C
B
C
Absolutely
we're
not
free,
because
you
know
when
you're
you
might
be
free,
but
when
you
can't
read
and
write
and
your
family
can't
read
and
write
and
your
family's
been
disenfranchised
for
generations
and
hasn't
been
able
to
build
wealth.
Then
you
don't
have
any
property
and
you
don't
have
an
ability
to
get
educated
and
you
can't
live
where
you
want
to
live
and
get
a
job.
Then
you're
not
in
a
position
to
be
free.
C
C
C
C
What
happened
in
that
period
of
time
was
so
much
more
terrible
than
anything.
Most
americans
recognize
or
understand
today
the
depth
of
poverty,
the
inability
of
african-americans
to
access
any
of
the
mechanisms
of
wealth,
achievement
and
growth
they're
all
rooted
in
this
terroristic
kind
of
regime
that
existed
in
so
many
places.
C
B
So
what
happened
right
after
slavery
were
these
black
colds
and
these
black
codes
regulated
the
behavior?
The
activities
and
freedoms
of
now
freed
blacks,
but
they
what
they
did.
They
essentially
re-enslaved
black
people,
the
forced
labor
like
you
just
saw,
and
there
were
on
black
codes.
That
said
that
if
you
were
committed
charged
with
a
crime,
then
you
can
be
forced
into
labor.
B
Remember
way
back
this
few
slides
ago,
the
13th
amendment
the
exception
was
that
no
slavery,
except
for
a
commission
of
a
crime-
and
this
is
how
a
lot
of
formerly
enslaved
people
were
re-enslaved
because
of
these
black
codes.
One
of
the
crimes
was
vagrancy,
so
that
meant,
if
you
were,
were
not
working
loitering.
If
you
were
just
standing
around
on
a
street
corner
and
once
they
re-enslaved
you,
then
they
had
what
they
called
apprentice
apprenticeships
for
your
children,
which
basically
forced
them
back
into
labor
as
well.
B
B
C
B
B
It
wasn't
until
two
weeks
ago,
when
the
governor
passed
a
law
that
said
that
they
can
now
become
firefighters,
that
they
could,
because
before
they
were
fighting
fires,
it
could
never
be
firefighters
because
you
couldn't
have
a
felony
and
be
a
firefighter
firefighter
so
again,
free
labor.
Do
you
know
that
the
work
of
prisoners
they
make
things
for
target
forever?
21
prisoners
are
creating
retail
goods
for
people
today.
So
I
just
want
you
to
see.
B
Absolutely
yes,
melissa
that
the
children
were
charged
and
representative
drummond
fired
jumper
squads
from
rural
alaska
and
california
too.
Yes,
I
don't
want
to
say
only
prisoners
are
fighting
fighters,
fighting
fires,
but
an
overwhelming
number
of
them
are
so,
let's
keep
going
so
jamal's
great
jamal's
grandfather
became
a
sharecropper.
B
B
So,
following
the
civil
war,
the
protections
that
were
put
in
place
to
protect
the
rights
of
african-americans
were
rescinded
and
federal
troops
were
withdrawn.
So
these
southern
whites
resorted
to
off
forms
of
intimidation
and
violence
to
keep
black
people
from
voting
and
to
restore
white
supremacy
in
the
region,
and
this
is
when
jim
crow
was
established.
B
So
now
we're
here
at
jamal's.
Second,
great
grandfather,
I'm
sorry!
In
the
other
slide,
it
should
have
been
his
his
third
great
grandfather,
forgive
my
typo
there.
So
here's
jamal's
second
great
grandfather
and
he
fled
the
terror
of
the
south.
And
many
of
you
read
about
this
in
your
history.
Books
is
the
great
migration.
B
This
were
black.
This
was
black
people
fleeing
the
south
one
of
the
greatest
books.
I
believe
that
was
written
during
this
period
is
called
the
well
the
warmth
of
other
sons,
magnificent
book,
historical
novel.
Once
you
start
reading
it,
you
will
not
want
to
put
it
down,
but
it's
a
great
history
of
this
period.
B
So
we
had
that
first
great
migration,
that
then
we
had
the
great
depression.
The
1930s
worsened
the
already
bleak
economic
status
of
african
americans.
They
were
the
first
to
be
laid
off
from
their
jobs.
The
unemployment
rate
was
two
to
three
times
that
of
white
people
and
blacks,
received
substantially
less
aid
than
whites
and
a
lot
of
the
charitable
organizations
excluded
black
people
from
their
soup
kitchens
and
from
other
forms
of
aid.
B
Now
it's
really
important
to
point
out
here
as
lawmakers
that
we
see
how
racism
was
codified
in
our
laws,
but
it
was
about
this
time
that
they
didn't
call
out
race.
Specifically,
they
began
to
call
out
groups
of
people
so
by
excluding
agricultural
workers
and
domestic
workers.
They
didn't
say
we're
excluding
blacks,
but
that's
where
the
majority
of
black
people
were.
So
we
want
to
make
pay
attention
to
that
language.
B
B
B
B
New
white
suburbs
often
came
with
overtly
racist
covenants
that
denied
entry
to
black
people.
Here's
a
little
homework
assignment,
dig
up
the
history
of
the
neighborhood.
Where
you
live
see.
If
you
can
locate
some
of
the
covenants,
I
located
some
of
the
covenants
right
here
in
colorado
that
specifically
excluded
black
people
from
moving
here
in
douglas
county,
which
is
truly
amazing.
E
This
is
jamal.
Jamal
is
a
boy
who
lives
in
a
poor
neighborhood.
He
has
a
friend
named
kevin
who
lives
in
a
wealthy
neighborhood.
All
of
jamal's
neighbors
are
african-american
and
all
of
kevin's
neighbors
are
white,
because
jamal's
school
district
is
mostly
funded
by
property
taxes.
His
school
is
not
very
well
funded,
his
classrooms
are
overcrowded,
his
teachers
are
underpaid
and
he
doesn't
have
access
to
high
quality,
tutors
or
extracurricular
activities.
Kevin's
school
district
is
also
funded
by
property
taxes,
so
his
school
is
very
well
funded.
E
His
classrooms
are
never
crowded,
his
teachers
are
very
well
paid
and
he
has
access
to
high
quality,
tutors
and
lots
of
extracurricular
activities.
Kevin
and
jamal
live
only
a
few
streets
away
from
each
other,
so
how
come
they're
growing
up
in
such
different
worlds
with
such
different
opportunities
for
success?
The
answer
has
to
do
with
america's
history
of
systemic
racism,
to
understand
it
better.
E
Let's
look
at
what
life
was
like
for
kevin
and
jamal's
grandparents
decades
after
the
civil
war,
many
government
agencies
started
to
draw
maps
dividing
cities
into
sections
that
were
either
desirable
or
undesirable
for
investment.
This
practice
was
called
redlining
and
it
usually
blocked
off
entire
black
neighborhoods
from
access
to
private
and
public
investment.
Banks
and
insurance
companies
used
these
maps
for
decades
to
deny
black
people,
loans
and
other
services
based
purely
on
race.
Historically
speaking,
owning
a
home
and
getting
a
college
education
is
the
easiest
way
for
an
american
family
to
build
wealth.
E
But
when
jamal's
grandparents
wanted
to
buy
a
house,
the
banks
refused,
because
they
lived
in
a
neighborhood
that
was
redlined,
so
jamal's
grandparents
were
not
able
to
buy
a
home
and
because
colleges
could
prevent
them
from
attending
through
legal
segregation.
Their
options
for
higher
education
were
really
scarce.
Kevin's
grandparents,
on
the
other
hand,
had
a
low
interest
loan
to
buy
their
first
house
and
get
accepted
into
a
handful
of
top
universities,
which
traditionally
only
accepted
white
students.
E
This
opened
up
a
wealth
of
opportunities
that
they
were
able
to
pass
on
to
their
kids
and
grandkids,
even
as
late
as
the
1980s.
An
investigation
into
the
atlanta
real
estate
market
showed
that
banks
were
more
willing
to
lend
to
low-income
white
families
than
to
middle
or
upper-income
african-american
families.
As
a
result.
Today,
for
every
hundred
dollars
of
wealth
held
by
a
white
family,
black
families
have
five
dollars
and
four
cents.
A
2017
study
confirms
that
redlining
is
still
affecting
home
values
in
major
cities
like
chicago
today.
B
So
in
our
chat
box,
it
says:
oh
donna's,
father
was
a
shirt.
Her
father
was
a
sharecropper
in
alabama
and
representative
sim
says
needing
id
to
prove
who
you
are
is
reminiscent
of
rules
to
keep
blacks
from
voting
today,
yes,
I
know
they're
excluded
from
most
labor
laws
about
not
sure
about
social
security.
Oh
one,
the
question
is:
are
agricultural
workers
and
domestic
workers
still
excluded
today
and
I'm
I'm
not
sure,
that's
something
I
need
to
find
out
so
rebecca
malay,
great
idea.
How
do
we
find
covenants
from
that?
B
E
B
He
ended
up
buying
an
overpriced
house
in
the
low-income
neighborhood,
with
a
very,
very
high
interest
rate,
and
because
that's
the
only
place
he
could
go,
they
found
that
there
are
a
lot
of
environmental
issues,
physical
conditions,
such
as
heat,
cold,
energy,
efficient
ventilation.
Those
were
some
of
the
issues.
There
were
chemical
issues
such
as
carbon
monoxide,
secondhand
smoke
and
lead.
B
Biological
conditions
existed,
such
as
rodents,
house,
dust,
mites,
roaches,
humidity
and
mold,
and
I
don't
know
if
I
had
lead
in
there.
Lead
should
be
there
as
well
and
then
social
conditions,
for
example,
related
to
mental
health.
So
not
only
was
jamal's
grandfather
subjected
to
those,
but
so
was
jamal's
father
who
grew
up
in
that
house,
and
jamal's
grandfather
ended
up
with
some
serious
health
issues.
B
B
She
had
to
cold
switch
whenever
she
was
in
a
so-called
professional
environment
and
for
some
of
you
who
may
not
understand
the
term
cold,
switching
is
changing
your
way
of
being
so
that
you
can
assimilate
into
the
culture.
So
changing
your
hair.
I
worked
for
state
government
for
years
and
I
never
ever
wore
my
hair
curly.
I
straightened
my
hair
for
the
10
years.
I
worked
in
state
government
because
I
was
afraid
of
appearing
too
ethnic,
so
that's
a
form
of
code,
switching
the
way
that
you
talk,
the
clothes
that
you
wear
your
mannerisms.
B
I
have
a
very
good
friend
who's,
a
very
dark
black
man,
who's
6'5
and
one
day
he
said
rosemarie,
I'm
so
tired
of
shrinking,
so
white
women
will
feel
comfortable
and
not
fear
me
and
that
broke
my
heart.
That
is
a
form
of
code.
Switching
and
senator
kavanaugh
said
that's
why
the
crown
act
is
so
important.
B
B
You
know
the
two
reasons:
the
top
two
reasons:
they're
suspended
sassiness
and
hair
they're
suspended
for
their
hair
they're
suspended
because
of
the
way
their
way
they
wear
their
hair,
the.
What
do
you
call
it
dress
codes
and
when
other
children
touch
their
hair
and
the
teachers
don't
protect
them
because
they
don't
understand
the
cultural
aspects
of
not
touching
black
people's
hair.
It's
really
amazing.
So
yes,
the
crown
act
is
very,
very,
very
important.
B
Senator
claire
woolson
says
that
a
great
resources
are
in
equities,
making
us
sick.
Absolutely
thank
you
for
sharing
this
resource,
and
now
jamal's
mother
has
ill
health
issues.
She
had
gestational
diabetes
when
she
was
pregnant
with
jamal
pre-eclampsia
and
spent
three
days
in
icu
following
jamal's
birth.
B
Do
you
know
that
black
women
are
five
times
more
likely
to
die
in
childbirth
than
white
women?
I
witnessed
this
almost
witnessed
it
firsthand.
When
my
niece
had
a
baby
april,
1st
2019
they
over
hydrated
her
and
they
could
not
get
her
blood
pressure
to
come
back
up
and
after
they
determined
they
were
taking
her
to
icu.
A
nurse
came
in
with
a
bag
of
fluid,
and
I
happened
to
be
there,
and
I
said
what
are
you
doing
with
that?
Oh
we're
going
to
hydrate
her.
I
said
she's
over
hydrated.
B
B
B
His
aces
score
is
five,
and
I
know
you
all
have
gone
over
ace's
adverse
childhood
experiences
and
why
is
his
score
so
high
with
his
mother,
a
professor
and
his
father,
a
lawyer
or
his
mother,
suffered
from
postpartum
depression
and
she
was
so
depressed
that
she
and
her
husband
separated
for
six
months
and
then
his
father
contracted
covet.
Remember
he
had
diabetes
and
he
was
overweight.
B
B
The
2016
united
states
department
of
office
of
civil
rights
data
shows
that
there
are
patterns
of
racial
and
gender
disproportionality
in
the
way
children
are
suspended.
First
boys
boys
represent
54
percent
of
the
preschool
population,
but
78
of
those
who
are
suspended
and
african-american
preschoolers
are
almost
four
times
more
likely
to
be
suspended
than
their
white
friends.
B
Let's
take
a
peek
teachers
were
asked
to
watch
a
video
clip
of
four
children
in
order
to
anticipate
challenging
behaviors
and
in
the
video
clips
were
for
these
four
children.
There
was
a
black
girl,
black
boy,
white
girl,
white
boy
and
the
children
were
all
child
actors,
and
these
were
the
directions
that
were
given
to
the
participants.
B
It
says
we're
interested
in
learning
about
how
teachers
detect
challenging
behaviors
in
the
classroom.
Sometimes
this
involves
seeing
behavior
before
it
becomes
problematic.
The
video
segments
you're
about
to
view
are
preschoolers
engaging
in
various
activities.
Some
clips
may
or
may
not
contain
challenging
behaviors.
Your
job
is
to
press
the
enter
key
on
the
external
keypad.
Every
time
you
see
a
behavior
that
could
become
a
potential
challenge
now.
What
the
participants
didn't
know
were
that
was
that
all
the
children
were
child
actors.
There
were
no
challenging
behaviors
at
all
in
the
video
clips.
B
B
E
And
there
a
big
part
of
systemic
racism
is
implicit
bias.
These
are
prejudices
in
society
that
people
are
not
aware
that
they
have
let's
go
back
to
kevin
and
jamal
against
all
odds.
Jamal
manages
to
be
the
only
student
from
his
high
school
to
get
accepted
into
a
great
university,
the
same
one
that
kevin
and
his
high
school
friends
are
attending,
but
after
kevin
and
jamal,
both
graduate
jamel
notices
that
his
resume
isn't
drawing
as
much
interest
as
kevin's,
even
though
they
graduated
from
the
same
program,
with
the
exact
same
gpa.
E
Unfortunately,
for
jamal
studies
show
that
resumes
with
white
sounding
names
get
twice
as
many
callbacks
as
identical
resumes
with
black
sounding
names.
Implicit
bias
is
one
of
the
reasons
why
the
black
unemployment
rate
is
twice
the
rate
of
white
unemployment,
even
among
college
graduates.
Today
you
can
see
evidence
of
systemic
racism
in
every
area
of
life.
The
disparities
in
family
wealth,
incarceration
rates,
political
representation
and
education
are
all
examples
of
systemic
racism.
B
So
I
think,
since
I
am
ahead
of
time,
I
can't
believe
it.
I
am
going
to
put
you
all
back
into
groups,
and
I
want
you
to
think
about
how
systemic
racism
is
still
impacting
people
today.
So
when
we
look
back
from
jamal's
grandfather
who
bought
his
home
and
what
happened
to
him,
what
happened
to
jamal's,
father,
jamal's,
mother
and
now
jamal
talk
about
the
impact
of
systemic
racism
on
african
americans
and
other
people
and
other
people
of
color
today.
B
C
D
C
What
I
would
say
is
that
it
has
existed,
it
continues
to
exist
and
it's
all
been
exacerbated
by
covid19.
So
we
have
a
historic,
you
know
issue,
but
we
also
have
an
issue.
That
is,
you
know,
even
greater
concern.
Now,
as
we
look
at
what's
happened
in
our
country
when
we
think
about
economic
recovery
and
if
we
don't
start
thinking
about.
B
So
we
know
that
this
impacts
jamal
in
your
small
groups.
You
talked
about
the
impact
of
systemic
racism,
and
we
know
how
this
impact
black
boys,
even
today,
that
they're
more
likely
to
be
suspended
from
school,
suspended
children
are
10
times
more
likely
to
enter
juvenile
justice
and
some
of
the
things
I
said
earlier
during
the
presentation,
and
now
we
know
exactly
how
this
happens.
It's
historical,
it
didn't
happen
out
of
nowhere,
so
we
want
to
define
equity.
B
Inequity
is
the
condition
that
will
be
achieved
when
race
no
longer
predicts
outcomes.
Wouldn't
that
be
amazing,
I
mean
when
we
say
all
all
children
will
thrive,
all
citizens
will
thrive
and
all
really
means
all,
and
as
a
black
woman,
my
race
will
not
dictate
what
diseases
I
get.
If
I
die
in
childbirth,
with
my
educational
level
will
be
what
will
happen
to
my
child,
where
I
will
live
and
what
some
of
the
diseases
are.
B
Wouldn't
that
be
amazing
if
race
no
longer
predicted
that
so
as
we
begin
to
wrap
up,
this
is
our
last
group
and
our
last
slides.
I
want
you
to
think
about
what
you
can
do.
I
gave
you
a
lot
of
information
and
shannon
saw
says
that
her
group
discussed
experiences
of
racial
bias.
They
have
witnessed
or
heard
about
senator
sykes
shared
a
story
from
a
constituent
who
is
a
black
business
owner,
was
followed
by
police
and
asked
if
he
had
permission
to
enter
his
own
gym.
B
He
was
only
able
to
prove
that
he
was
supposed
to
be
there
because
there
was
a
picture
of
him
on
the
wall
in
the
gym.
Just
amazing,
and
we
can.
I
can
tell
you
so
many
stories
about
how
my
handsome
amazing,
incredibly
sensitive
son,
walking
in
our
own
neighborhood,
had
the
police
called
on
him
multiple
times,
but
I
was
able
to
work
with
the
police
department
to
make
sure
that
he
wasn't
hurt
or
unnecessarily
stopped.
B
A
So
marie
I'm
actually
we're
actually
going
to
give
them
less
than
that.
So
we
can
make
sure
that
we
have
time
for
eva
to
do
her.
Her
final
comments
as
well,
so
how
about
five
minutes
and
then
we'll
come
back
and
do
some
q
a
and
then
we'll
get
ourselves
back
on
back
on
track
because
this
time
got
away
from
us
now.
Yes,
it
did.
B
B
D
C
Okay,
I'll
give
I'll
start
off.
There's
two
areas
that
I'm
working
in
one
I'm
in
a
work
group
with
our
iowa
public
health
association
on
centering
around
socially
determinate
health
with
a
racial
and
impacts.
A
component
of
that
so
we're
trying
to
find
alignment
where
work
is
going
on
in
different
areas
across
the
state
at
different
levels.
So
we
can
coordinate
some
of
that
effort
and
I'm
also
pursuing
some
involvement
in
our
juvenile
justice
work
with
minority
contacts
and
efforts
to
improve
in
those.
A
B
Do
one
I'll
I'll
go
first
to
a
graphic
that
many
of
you
have
seen
and
the
graphic
shows
three
little
people
yeah
one
is
short
one
medium
size,
one
tall
and
in
the
first
frame
they're
all
given
they're
all
standing.
No,
they
all
have
a
box.
They
have
one
box
and
that
box
is.
We
give
that's
equality,
then
the
next
frame
shows
equity.
But
if
you
look
closely
at
that
frame,
it
looks
like
we
took
the
box
from
the
tallest
kid
and
gave
it
to
another
child.
B
B
We
give
supports
to
people
who
need
it.
So
when
you
think,
if
you
use
that
graphic
just
say,
this
graphic
is
wrong.
We're
not
talking
about
taking
this
box
from
this
kid.
Everybody
keeps
their
same
box,
but
these
people
may
these
children
might
need
more
because
of
a
b
and
c.
So
that's
one
of
the
most
common
misconceptions
and
the
other
common
misconception
is
anytime.
We
we
think
that
we're
anti-something,
you
have
to
be
pro-something
else.
B
You
have
to
present
this
in
a
way
that
where
people
can
see
themselves,
if,
if
I
may
just
one
more
point
donna
just
we
made
a
really
really
big
mistake
in
the
80s
when
we
started
talking
about
diversity
and
multicultural
stuff,
we
defined
diversity
as
everything
that
wasn't
white.
That
was
a
mistake
and
white
people
did
not
see
themselves.
In
this
conversation,
we
must
change
that.
We
must
recognize
that
everyone
is
a
cultural
being.
B
A
D
D
The
moment
that
we're
in
is
marked
not
just
by
covid19,
but
this
reckoning
with
racism
that
we're
having
and
we
at
the
ecf
felt.
It
was
really
important
for
ncsl
to
put
that
front
and
center
this
year
and
and
create
this
series,
through
a
race
equity
lens,
to
recognize
and
leverage
that
power
of
the
moment,
and
we
also
believe
that
children
grow
and
develop
in
the
context
of
their
families
and
their
communities.
D
So
we're
really
delighted
that
this
year's
series
zooms
out
a
little
bit
and
will
take
a
more
holistic
look
at
the
wide
range
of
factors
that
can
support
or
stunt
children's
healthy
development.
So,
if
you
enjoyed
today
and
you're
eager
for
more,
we
do
hope.
You'll
come
back
for
the
remaining
four
sessions
in
the
series,
and
I
know
that
you'll
have
all
the
information
but
I'll,
just
kind
of
quickly
run
through
what
those
topics
are
and,
as
dr
alan
said,
you
will
revisit
jamal
and
his
family
kind
of
through
these
different
focus
areas.
D
So
the
next
session
will
be
on
health
and
safety
and
look
more
at
adverse
childhood
experiences.
The
accumulated
toxic
stress
on
child
development,
racial
bias
in
health
care
came
up
a
lot
in
the
breakouts
I
was
in,
and
the
related
policy
solutions
to
improve
children,
families,
health
and
safety
outcomes
session.
D
Deserts
preschool
suspensions
and
expulsions.
So
definitely
going
deeper
on
that
topic,
home
visiting
and
the
issue
of
the
early
childhood
workforce,
a
lot
of
equity
issues
there
and
then
the
fifth
and
final
session
will
look
at
home
and
community
and
really
look
at
that
sort
of
ecosystem
that
children
grow
up
in
with
special
attention
to
policies
that
can
disproportionately
impact
children
and
families
of
color.
D
In
the
meantime,
do
look
look
out
for
an
evaluation
from
today's
session
to
help
ncsl
refine
the
program
and
better
meet
your
needs,
and
just
thank
you
again
for
your
leadership
in
this
time.
Where
we
need
it
more
than
ever
and
your
interest
in
these
issues
that
are
really
impacting
thousands
of
children,
millions
of
children's
lives
and
really
our
state
and
our
nation.
So
thanks
again.
A

actually

shannon
