In this week's discussion, we will sharing 10 Ways to Celebrate August 28th (and Every Important Day in Black History!)

August 28th is a date deeply woven into the fabric of Black history—a day marked by pivotal events that have shaped our ongoing fight for justice and equality. From the tragic lynching of Emmett Till in 1955 to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s iconic "I Have a Dream" speech in 1963, this day has been both a reminder of our struggles and a beacon of hope.

In this week's discussion, we will be testing your Socialized Racism Scale - a self-assessment tool designed to help you uncover and reflect on the unconscious biases and behaviors that contribute to systemic racism. This encourages honest introspection, helping you identify areas where you can grow and take actionable steps toward becoming a more effective and empathetic ally in the fight for racial equity.

These are just some racist behaviors that white people don’t know are racist. After reading this list, take some time to reflect on your behaviors and determine if they are also unconsciously racist. 

The famous quote “Making a way out of no way” is heavily embedded with John Henryism - a coping strategy where Black people put in extreme effort to overcome obstacles and racism, often leading to significant physical and mental health problems due to the constant stress. Named after the folk hero John Henry, it highlights how we strive to succeed against the “machinery” of racism.
