I think it was helpful to see the various situations from different perspectives. Being able to choose your responses made it more personal.

I think the videos for this course were well executed. I liked how you can get the point of view of multiple different individuals with diverse backgrounds and different job description.

I thought it was clever to relate the concepts of racism to parallel topics to make it easier to understand by those who do not experience racism first hand.

Employees who take the "Ending Racism: Everyone's Responsibility" course will get an understanding of how structural racism is exacerbated by interpersonal racism.

Identifying actions or comments that unfairly target individuals based on race.

Understanding how racism can create tension, hurt morale, and divide teams.

Encouraging open conversations and creating policies that support fair treatment for everyone.

If you see something that felt off, racist, or sexist don't feel afraid to say something.
