It is important to have awareness of the inequities around us. In adopting ignorance, we feed into systematic racism rather than encouraging ourselves and others to address the issue.

It is important to have awareness of the injustices taking place around us on a daily basis. Ignorance enables systematic racism to continue while adopting awareness encourages us to address the issue.

It's so easy to denounce racism, but this activity helped to remind me of how much courage it takes to stand up and fight against oppression and the consequences of standing up for yourself or someone else.  It also takes a lot to reflect on and acknoledge the things that you have done wrong and navigate through the shame of being part of the problem.  I think this course did a great job at reminding us that being complicit is not a painless choice either.  Well done MGB!

This course did a great job at helping me to reflect on how much courage it takes to stand up for yourself and someone else.  Every choice has consequences, including the choice to stay silent.  This course was also a great reminder that it is everyone's responsibility to dismantle racism.

The videos were engaging and I liked how they were based on real-life scenarios of MGB hospitals.
