Perhaps you’re getting these messages from corporations acknowledging the day, from a college with which you’re affiliated, from a Facebook post, or from a news source providing resources about the meaning and significance of the day. I’ve been asked several times if I’d be sending out a list of resources for our community to mark this day. And my initial impulse was to do just that. It would not have been difficult to pull together the resources and cut and paste some information. But after listening to trusted colleagues, including colleagues of color, I decided it’s more important for me, today, to acknowledge how little I know and how much I have to learn.

The work we have before us must be both personal and systemic. The amount I have to learn and my uncertainty about the steps forward are daunting to me. But I remain optimistic. I am buoyed by students in our schools who are demanding change, by colleagues who are learning together each day, and by community members who are asking to help. I still trust that by truly listening to others, we can move...
