Also, I'll post the questions we didn't fully explore from Chapter 2 in our 3rd meeting...

13. W. E. B. Du Bois writes about double-consciousness in The Souls of Black Folk as a “sense of always looking at one’s self through the eyes of others.” How can this dueling consciousness nourish a sense of pride in Black identity? How can this dueling consciousness also cultivate shame? How did dueling consciousness impact Kendi’s parents and, in turn, influence his own upbringing? 

14. What assimilationist ideas (ones that express people of color are culturally or behaviorally inferior and therefore supporting enrichment programs to develop people of color) still persist in our curriculum and/or classroom instruction? In our school? (apart from this PD reading group…) 

15. In what ways might we fall victim of segregationist ideas or beliefs (those that state people of color cannot be developed or are inferior) while teaching or in our school policies? In our county? How do we support segregationist ideas in our home lives? Does this have an impact on how/what we teach at SOTA?
