Speaking Truth to Power!!

Dear Friends,

I am back with the newsletter and I thank all of you who gently (and

not so gently) urged me to continue this resource. It was inspiring

to hear for so many of you.

The elections are near and I had the opportunity to ask Senator

about what the Kerry/ administration would do about

institutional racism. While he didn't have any where near a detail

policy plan (like he did for education and health), he did

acknowledge that we live in two separate Americas characterized not

just by class but also by race. He also acknowledge institution! al

racism as a problem. If you would like to hear his entire response

follow the following steps:

1. Go to http://www.whiotv.com/politics/3776518/detail.html#

2. Click on Answers Questions From Supporters

3. Once the video starts right click on the video

4. Left Click on " Play in RealPlayer "

5. Fast Forward to about to 7 minutes 59 seconds.

Don't forget to vote!

Yours in the Struggle!

Test Your Hidden Bias

Even though we believe we see and treat people as equals, hidden

biases may still influence our perceptions and actions. Social

psychologists think stereotypes and prejudice linger in most of us.

Created by psychologists at Harvard and the University of Washington,

this collection of Hidden Bias Tests (called Implicit Association

Tests, or IATs, in the academic world) measure unconscious bias.
