ANCHORWOMAN: And if ever one vote counted it certainly is going to count in this particular race. [01:00:46:00] [TITLE: The race for Georgia governor is between Democrat Stacey Abrams and Republican Brian Kemp.] [If elected, Abrams would become the nation’s first female African American governor.] CROWD: Stacey! Stacey! Stacey! Stacey! Stacey! ANCHORWOMAN: The controversy surrounding Georgia’s governor race is not dying down. Both candidates dug in today. ANCHORWOMAN: Republican Brian Kemp and Democrat Stacey Abrams are locked in a virtual dead heat. ANCHORWOMAN: Everybody wants to know what’s happening in Georgia, still a toss up there, as we’re waiting for a number of votes to come in. They believe there are tens of thousands of absentee ballots that have not yet been counted. ANCHORWOMAN: Voter suppression has become a national talking point and Brian Kemp has become a focal point. [01:01:27:00] LAUREN: All of the votes in this race have not been counted. 1 BRIAN KEMP: On Tuesday, as you know, we earned a clear and convincing, uh, victory at the ballot box and today we’re beginning the transition process. ANCHORMAN: Kemp was leading Democratic opponent Stacey Abrams by a narrow margin and it grew more and more narrow in the days following the election. Abrams filed multiple lawsuits, but ultimately dropped out of the race.

  • Anti-Racism Library Collection 2020-2021 Guide
    Cooper Medical School of Rowan University Chapter of the Gold Humanism Honor Society Anti-Racism Library Collection 2020-2021 Guide The CMSRU chapter of the Gold Humanism Honor Society is proud to debut an anti-racism library collection housed in the CMSRU medical library. With works of nonfiction, fiction, memoirs, essays and poetry, we hope to create a living collection that will grow and add new perspectives on race, racism and especially race in medicine. This collection was made possible through the generous support of The Arnold P. Gold Foundation and the CMSRU Center for Humanism, and the invaluable assistance of the CMSRU Library staff. Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Man by Emmanuel Acho “You cannot fix a problem you do not know you have.” The opening of Emmanuel Acho’s work reveals a guide to systemic racism and the uncomfortable conversations we all need to have to fix the wounds in our nation. There is no topic too big, small or uncomfortable for Acho as he tackles white privilege, cultural appropriation and the notion of “reverse racism.” Acho promotes compassion and understanding in delving into difficult topics and also lights a passion in readers to embrace and join the anti-racism movement. Extra resources: ● Uncomfortable Conversations website ● Emmanuel Acho’s YouTube channel The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness by Michelle Alexander Civil rights lawyer and legal scholar Michelle Alexander’s unflinching dismantling of racism in the U.S. criminal justice system spent more than 4 years on The New York Times bestseller list since its 2010 publication.

  • In Response to the 2016 Presidential Election and Her Students' Fears
    In response to the 2016 presidential election and her students’ fears regarding deportation, Fund for Teachers Fellow Fakhra Shah created this curriculum for teachers at San Francisco’s Mission High School. Earlier that year, she used her grant to explore colonialism, post-colonial civic unrest and the refugee crisis in Uganda and France alongside a UC Berkeley professor to deepen empathy towards students who have passed through these places and create relevant social justice and world history curriculum contributing to stronger academic and interpersonal connections within the classroom. Learn more about her fellowship here. Lesson Plan/s: Objectives: • Students express their concerns and voice their thoughts/feelings • Students speak about their lived experiences with racism, sexism and the phobias • Students gain empowerment/hope through discussion • Students feel safe and respected (whether they are for or against Trump) • Anti-Racist/Anti-Sexist/Anti-Islamophobic/Anti-Homophobic, ANTI-HATE (etc.,) teaching lenses are magnified and put into full use tomorrow and students should come away with an understanding of this through discussions held in class/norms established • Students gain a knowledge of the context of American racial violence, sexism etc., • Students will also learn about propaganda and see how Trump has been quoted saying things he has not said, but they have and will also see and discuss legitimate facts, ie what he has said and admitted saying through viewing the information provided on the Last Week Tonight Show by John Oliver. • Students will gain a deeper understanding of what motivates Trump supporters through watching the TrumpLand documentary and participating in a discussion • Feel free to add more objectives Here are some recommendations for how to conduct a discussion: 1.
