MONUMENTS: How do they show up in my school/organization and what is my role in addressing them?

DESCRIPTION: Since the murder of George Floyd we have increasingly seen the toppling of Confederate monuments around the country. While the removal of these statues is long overdue, their removal is really just the beginning of the antiracist work that is necessary. There are the physical monuments and then there are the monuments that have been erected that reside in my beliefs and behaviors, as well as in systems, structures, practices, policies, and ways of being that perpetuate a racial hierarchy. We will examine monuments as a metaphor and how monuments have been erected in our schools and organizations that continue to perpetuate racialized outcomes. We will explore the question: how do monuments show up in me? My organization? What is my role in naming them and addressing them? What is our collective role?
