<p>Schools will not be the same in the upcoming academic year. So much might be on the line because of the pandemic and the ongoing anti-racist protests which have taken over the country. So, what can education do in the era of Black Lives Matter? To explore this question, this episode looks at elementary schools. One of our guides in this journey will be Mary Kokinda, an educator based in Western New York. What racial ideas do students encounter in routine tests they take at schools? How do parents react to students’ engagement with the topics of race and ethnicity? How is America’s changing demographic landscape shifting teachers’ labor? These are some of the questions you will encounter in this episode.</p> <p>Additional resources:</p> <p>A Class Divided (a PBS documentary, 1985), https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1mcCLm_LwpE.</p> <p>Jane Elliott on the OWS (1992), https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ebPoSMULI5U. </p> <p>"18 striking findings from 2018," Pew Research Center, Dec 13, 2018, https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2018/12/13/18-striking-findings-from-2018/.</p> <p>Judith Adkins, “ 'These People Are Frightened to Death.'

<p>In this episode, we go to the city of Utrecht in the central part of the Netherlands to talk to Elliot Lyons, a writer and photographer who left the United States in 2008 and has lived in the Netherlands since then. We chatted in the beginning of June 2020. By then, massive protests against racism and police brutality have swept the United States. I wanted to hear what Elliot had to say about watching the United States from abroad. What does one do with hope immediately after a wave of hopelessness which the COVID-19 pandemic intensified? Why should we be critical of project America and its legacy? What do we make of black squares and #blackouttuesday at a time when overcommunication about black organizing is vital? These are some of the topics discussed in this episode.</p> <p><strong>Additional resources:</strong></p> <p>Elliot Lyons can be found on Instagram as @elliot_lyons.</p> <p>Elliot Lyons, "Veganism's Race Problem," Vegan Magazine, <a href="https://www.blackvegansrock.com/blog/2016/7/4/feature-elliot-lyons"><u>https://www.blackvegansrock.com/blog/2016/7/4/feature-elliot-lyons</u></a>.</p> <p>"Mobilize for Black Lives Guide," https<a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1q53GNj-kwhfWNzM7HK2CVpDBqNOTflnsWI-Ga2AUZN0/mobilebasic"><u>://docs.google.com/document/d/1q53GNj-kwhfWNzM7HK2CVpDBqNOTflnsWI-Ga2AUZN0/mobilebasic</u></a>.</p> <p><br></p> <p>“Mapping Police Violence,” <a href="https://mappingpoliceviolence.org/?fbclid=IwAR28RM79XWUtKzCO0xEqGOsyB7mCTnTPwMPg4mKNUa_MIHg2tY1BilsPeVc"><u>https://mappingpoliceviolence.org/?fbclid=IwAR28RM79XWUtKzCO0xEqGOsyB7mCTnTPwMPg4mKNUa_MIHg2tY1BilsPeVc</u></a>.</p> <p>"Slave Patrols: An Early Form of American Policing," <a href="https://lawenforcementmuseum.org/2019/07/10/slave-patrols-an-early-form-of-american-policing/"><u>https://lawenforcementmuseum.org/2019/07/10/slave-patrols-an-early-form-of-american-policing/</u></a>. </p> <p>“Officer’s tattoo causes chief to ‘question his ability to function effectively,’ ” <a href="https://www.charlotteobserver.com/latest-news/article217573000.html"><u>https://www.charlotteobserver.com/latest-news/article217573000.html</u></a><u>.</u></p> <p>#sayhername project, <a href="https://aapf.org/sayhernamereport/"><u>https://aapf.org/sayhernamereport/</u></a>.</p> <p>Da'Shaun Harrison, "Instead of Posting Black Boxes to Your Instagram, Abolish Whiteness," <a href="https://wearyourvoicemag.com/instead-of-black-boxes-abolish-whiteness/"><u>https://wearyourvoicemag.com/instead-of-black-boxes-abolish-whiteness/</u></a></p> <p>Kimberly Springer, "The Tricky Allure of Becoming a Black American Expatriate," The Atlantic,</p> <p><a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2018/10/being-black-american-expatriate-its-complicated/573211/"><u>https://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2018/10/being-black-american-expatriate-its-complicated/573211/</u></a>.</p> <p>Photographs from march for Black Lives Matter from Vilnius, Lithuania, can be found on the webside of Vilnius-based podcast Nyla, <a href="https://nanook.lt/podcast/tukstantis-ne-rasizmui/"><u>https://nanook.lt/podcast/tukstantis-ne-rasizmui/</u></a></p> <p><br></p> <p>This episode included news clips from Al Jazeera English, C-Span, and Democracy Now.</p> <p>Music in this episode was by Chris Zabriskie from the Free Music Archive and the piece is called “Another Version of You.”</p> <p>Image of Elliot Lyons courtesy of Elliot Lyons.</p>
