The videos were well put together. Unfortunately, I can see how these scenarios have occurred. I appreciated the different scenarios and perspectives.

Honest presentation of complex issues which often generate shame.  Honest, respectful discourse is essential.  Creating a culture where open communication is supported is essential

I spent a day at our MGH ER as a patient.  There's an inner waiting room for the hours between tests where on the huge TV was literally an all-day festival of some old cop show.  Hour after hour of watching white TV cops harass and beat up random African Americans  --- George Floyd as entertainment.  Finally it occurred to me to ask to have it stopped, and it was, but how on earth was it on in the first place?

The content was engaging and tried to bring light to the harsh experiences many people of color face. However real action, and change is required.

It gives a good understanding for people on how racism damages the institution and how a person that stands up for it can damage the work place more, when they insist on helping by doing nothing to solve it.

The video format from the perspectives of the 4 people was an effective way to cover the topics, as the body language and alternate endings to certain interactions helped to reinforce the effect words can have on the recipient sometimes unbeknowst to the speaker.

This course was helpful for understanding different points of view from individuals in all departments. It was informative seeing the systemic consequences of racism and the ways we can work towards dismantling it.
