Notes on Armstrong and Wildman

Key Take Aways:

• (68) We have to notice.  Don't be afraid to see race.  This article gives us permission and language to use when talking about race. This article gave concrete examples about HOW.
• (67, 73) Not enough to Notice but also to acknowledge the privilege associated with it
• (68)  Provides vocabulary for teaching across racial lines.
• (73) Looking for the Me -- helps build bridges
• (66) Not the responsibility of students of color to talk about race
• (76) No magic wand here
• (71) White people have race (cooshball)
• (69)  Notice race for 24 hours
• (69) Silence is a privilege

--> Intersectionality -- seeing oppression as connected (just need to be careful not to derail the conversation and avoid the very conversation about race we are trying to have)
