Teen Racial Justice feature

The purpose of this curriculum is to help young Friends sort out the many messages they get about race, racism, and white privilege, and to support them in becoming more effective forces for racial justice and racial healing. This work is neither easy nor trivial. This curriculum can be taught in ten 45-minute classes or as five 90 minute sessions. Many diversity programs focus on helping those with privilege to understand their privilege, and on helping those who have experienced discrimination to share the pain of such experiences and end the program’s work there. While both these exercises are important, this curriculum is designed to help participants to move beyond the recognition of privilege and the sharing of pain and hurt, towards invested reflection, analysis, and action. —Lisa Graustein, New England Yearly Meeting 2012
