Please share with your students

In early December 2021, Humber launched a group for employees who identify as white and/or as having white skin privilege to examine how they have been conditioned by their whiteness and how it shows up in their thoughts, feelings, and experiences, and within their institutions (family, work, educational, religious, etc.), and to build an anti-racist practice.
