Something that really struck me was the idea that it is not the "job" of our black and brown students to educate us or other white people. This is something that I've spoken about with my students and their opinions seem to be all over the map. A lot of my female students want to educate people and want to be a big part of the social change. We talked about why they feel that way and what I can do as a white person. Most of my students stated they wanted to educate people who were uneducated because "the world wont change if we don't make it." I thought their different perspectives were very interesting!
