For chat, make sure you select 'All panelists and attendees' in the to: area of the chat dropdown. When we have open forums, if you want to speak, you can use the hand raise feature. Those who do will be listed in the order that hands were raised. We will unmute and announce you live during those open discussions. 00:34:00 AACRAO Communications: You can chat at any time. But we will only use the hand raise feature during open discussion periods 00:39:11 Kadia Hufford: I stopped watching the news because I was so overwhelmed 00:40:35 Lisa Sutton: I'm with you, but fear NOT being informed. :( 00:42:18 Alexander Frain: Beautifully put, Adrienne. Thank you! 00:42:49 Mike Glade: Kadia and Lisa, that's the balancing act I'm working with now... 00:42:54 Amy Harth: My question: I have over 15 years experience in anti-racism research. However, as a white person, I still struggle with balancing speaking up and supporting the leadership of black people (not seeming like my attempt to help is speaking over them). What advice do you have for balancing these concerns? 00:45:08 Kadia Hufford: I took myself off social media 48hrs ago because I found myself arguing with Black and White counterparts. It became so exhausting I had to check-out 00:45:51 Hope Martin: My colleagues who are not minorities have been asking me what can they do...I have provided them with the following article https://www.refinery29.com/en-us/2020/05/9841376/black-trauma-george-floyd-dear-white-people 00:48:21 Sherry Wells: Well said Cassandra! 00:48:22 Luisa Havens Gerardo: YES!!!!!! 00:48:41 Emily Johnson: This has been a helpful resource with relevant resources for people at lots of different stages: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1PrAq4iBNb4nVIcTsLcNlW8zjaQXBLkWayL8EaPlh0bc/preview?fbclid=IwAR0NWG0q-guILKUhDvakD46yje3t2vBSS4koeX_eX8-jGw6n5DM4X5KG9jI&pru=AAABcp7Mxu8*-gmZXKy6d-IC9wVK05W4-g 00:48:46 Kizzy Morris: We need to energize and educate our young people. Support student organizations. 00:48:48 Tiffany Webber: Excellent points Cassandra! 00:49:35 Alecia Fields: Thank you for this space to have open and honest conversations. I would say one of the challenges in this climate as a millennial leader is we have heard the struggle of our forefathers during the Civil Rights Movement and Jim Crow era, but truthfully I don't think our generation has lived through a movement of this nature. I've heard some criticism of the tactics and voice of millennials who desire to speak up. How can we bridge the conversation between generations on effective and strategic protests for the cause? 00:51:26 Janet Duke: Thank you Emily Johnson for this resource 00:51:44 Kadia Hufford: I would like the panel to address this— how do we navigate students of color that say ‘Black Lives Matter’ but they have Black cops or cops in their families or from multiracial communities 00:52:17 Kadia Hufford: And staff as well that say ‘All lives matter’ 00:52:42 Kadia Hufford: I get both pieces and struggle to navigate 00:54:46 Lisa Sutton: Thank you, Soraira! 00:55:51 Emily Johnson: RE: the question of responding to "All lives matter", a helpful list: https://www.vox.com/2016/7/11/12136140/black-all-lives-matter 00:56:12 Adrienne Bricker: Thank you, Soraira. As Ros said, we need to start by educating ourselves. And we can take the responsibility to educate others- our black friends and colleagues are not responsible for our education. 00:58:12 Luisa Havens Gerardo: Amen ! 00:58:27 Kelly Hogencamp: Good analogy, thank you. 00:58:30 Julia Westwater: Thank you for that excellent analogy! 00:58:30 Joseph Cannella: Here here! 00:58:39 Janelle Smith: Yes 00:58:45 Hope Lemons: What a great example! 00:58:53 Alexander Frain: Simple explanation that clarifies the matter well. Thanks! 00:59:18 Janet Duke: thank you for this great analogy 01:00:35 Regina Wilmes: I have never been able to understand why so many people misinterpret the phrase "Black Lives Matter" to mean "Only Black Lives Matter." It is heartbreaking and frustrating,. 01:00:46 Nicole Henderson: Most change is actually led by young people. 01:01:58 Hope Martin: As a community activist, it is EXTREMELY important that people are showing up to vote. We must vote in local officials who will operate in EVERYONE's best interest without racial biases 01:01:59 Kadia Hufford: I agree Ros 01:02:08 Kayleigh Lough: @Regina Wilmes, I completely agree. I always took it to mean, "Black lives matter too." 01:03:49 AACRAO Communications: There is some good discussion in the Q and A right now as well, if we want to add those to the conversation. I'll let you drive that change though. We have 3 more hands raised 01:04:28 Ryan Hunt: We (the majority) need to lift you up! 01:04:46 Annetta Stroud: I have captured the Q&A questions. if we do not have time to get to them, we can send to the panelists and maybe write up answers for a Connect article to address? 01:05:06 Annetta Stroud: and to add to the Resource Page 01:07:48 Kadia Hufford: We cannot keep doing this- I would like to address ppl that don’t understand. 01:07:52 Luisa Havens Gerardo: Any front to dignity and humanity pertain to everyone! 01:08:02 Luisa Havens Gerardo: *afront 01:08:36 Alexander Frain: Luisa--absolutely. To refuse to see the humanity of one group is to deny everyone's humanity! 01:09:03 Adrienne McDay: hey Luisa 01:09:07 T'Asia Williams: Yes! Enslaved people. Not slaves. I've made that change with my language as well. 01:09:22 Kadia Hufford: We are missing a big piece here in our group 01:09:31 Luisa Havens Gerardo: Hey Miss McDay! 01:10:11 Kelli Finch: Can you repeat the name of that book that you recommended? 01:10:17 Tina DeNeen: Racism scale: https://racismscale.weebly.com/ 01:10:19 Philip Hunt: what are we missing? Please voice your thoughts and opinion on that. 01:10:22 Mike Glade: History is cyclical and if we ignore it, we're doomed to repeat the mistakes of the past.. 01:10:26 Kelly Hogencamp: The Water Dancer is the book 01:10:28 Kizzy Morris: Resource - The Water Dancer by Ta-Nehisi Coates 01:10:28 Cathryn Lass: Thank you for hosting the forum and using the power of your positions to bring us together. It is one example of an alternative to a protest march, which we all have seen can be a dangerous way to stand up. I think higher education institutions are ideally situated to host forums for our communities as you have done today for us. This forum is increasing my education and empathy about how we can again breath easier. 01:10:45 Brooke Barnett: 1619 podcast is also excellent 01:11:06 Adrienne Bricker: 1619 is outstanding. Also, Code Switch should be on your list. 01:11:14 Alexander Frain: Thank you, Cassandra--that's exactly it. If nothing else b/c of COVID, we've seen how interconnected we all really are! 01:11:16 Kadia Hufford: we are missing a big piece in this group 01:11:28 Kelly Hogencamp: Yes, Code Swtich! I was going to mention that, too! Thanks @Adrienne Bricker 01:11:44 Kimberly Odusami: Anti-Racism Resources: https://docs.google.com/document/u/1/d/1BRlF2_zhNe86SGgHa6-VlBO-QgirITwCTugSfKie5Fs/mobilebasic 01:14:00 Stacey Tidball: More podcasts that were recently recommended to me: Check out the following podcasts available on Apple Podcasts and Spotify: "To Be In A Rage, Almost All The Time" from 1A "A Weekend of Pain and Protest" from The Daily featuring Nikole Hannah-Jones "The Trauma Of Being Black In America" from 1A, on mental health and grief 01:14:23 Kadia Hufford: Phillip- We have to get to a space where we don’t expect others to do like we do and we can only only forward with education. 01:14:28 Alexander Frain: Roslyn...wow. Speechless. 01:15:00 Kadia Hufford: We will alienate the folks that can help to make change 01:15:11 Hope Martin: Black Widow....what??? 01:15:38 Marilee Lukefahr: NOPE. You are Wonder Woman in my eyes but you can be any superhero you want to be! 01:15:56 Adrienne Bricker: That's right, Marilee. :) 01:17:23 Nicole Henderson: Roslyn you are sharing my lived experience. 01:17:57 Lakisha Beck: Yes, Roslyn! 01:18:36 Alecia Fields: Wow! That takes a great deal of strength. I've learned that some of us have to be trailblazers so we will endure it alone, but we're just paving the way for others to have a path. Much respect to you Roslyn! 01:19:11 Nicole Henderson: Well said Roslyn! 01:19:39 Adrienne McDay: Perservere 01:19:54 Tina DeNeen: Ros's story is why participation in support networks such as AACRAO's Black Caucus is so important. You may be the only one on your campus, but you have support in other places. Further, if someone believes you were hired because of the color of your skin, that's their problem...not yours. Don't allow yourself to be their dumping ground. Do your job and do it well. That will answer all the questions. That is silent and effective resistence. 01:19:54 Roslyn Perry: If anyone wants to continue conversations offline my contact information is perry.2139@osu.edu 01:19:58 Kizzy Morris: Let's flip the script and use your power to educate. You need to believe in your experience and use that to do the work. 01:20:00 Kelly Hogencamp: @Cassandra Moore, prof dev curriculum tied to performance eval...I like this. Excellent idea. 01:22:40 Adrienne Bricker: Ros, Phillip, Cassandra, and Kizzy - Thanks for your leadership and creating this space. 01:22:45 Janie Barnett: I hope that we are all contacting our legislators and police departments. We can make a difference if we all reach out with our concerns. They need to know that the citizens of this country will not tolerate this hate and violence. We need to speak out and not sit by and wait to see what happens. Nothing will happen if we don't use our voices. 01:23:47 Rhonda Kitch: I have to sign off for another meeting. Thank you, thank you, thank you to all involved. I hope the variety of resources will be captured and shared (I know I need to learn more). Thank you to the panelists for your willingness to be vulnerable and share your experiences. Sending love. 01:24:23 Alexander Frain: Thank you to the panelists and to all of our colleagues who participated in today's Town Hall! 01:25:04 Mike Reilly Reilly: This conversation is so important. Thank you speaking from your hearts. 01:25:43 Medgina Fidelis: Thank you for creating this space. I appreciate it. 01:26:27 Kayleigh Lough: Thank you guys so much for holding this Town Hall! 01:26:50 Laura Jacobs Anderson: I have a lot to learn. And I don’t know where to start. I’m just gonna read one of the articles linked above and start there. I need to stop being overwhelmed by the volume and struggling over where to start. Just pick a thing and start there! Thank you all for presenting this and being my colleagues in my development. 01:27:07 Patricia Hachten: What's wrong with being angry? The current situation requires our anger. IMHO 01:27:13 Kelly Hogencamp: Some really good takeaways and action items on my list from this town hall. Thanks. It's good to LISTEN. 01:27:51 Laura Jacobs Anderson: Will chat and q & a be shared so I can go back to links and suggested reading/listening material? 01:27:56 Kelly Hogencamp: Allies who can be accomplices...that's a takeaway for me 01:28:01 Tracy Jackson: Thank you all for this! Let's keep the dialogue going & create solutions. Blessings always. 01:28:08 Doug McKenna: Thank you to everyone who shared, especially the panelists. 01:28:11 AACRAO Communications: @ Laura, yes we will share the recording, the Q and A and the chat as well 01:28:19 Melanie Gottlieb: Thank you for your thoughtful comments and for sharing. I am listening and working to learn and be a stronger support and an agent for change 01:28:29 Laura Jacobs Anderson: Thanks! 01:28:29 Roberta Nelson: Thank you so much for this open conversation. I have learned that I need to be an "Accomplice" and to be comfortable having uncomfortable conversations with family and friends who hold racist views. Thank you all. 01:28:33 Debbie Gannon: Thank you! Ready to be an accomplice!!! 01:28:39 Pat Breen: Thank you for this informative and collaborative opportunity! 01:28:41 AACRAO Communications: Based on the interest, we may try to do a follow up once we have some more action items rolling 01:28:44 Jeff Hill: Thank you so much! 01:28:48 Alec: thank you so much. 01:28:48 Nicole Henderson: Please continue the Town Hall meetings. The conversations are critical. 01:28:50 Shannon Lauffer: Thank you so much for taking the time and for sharing. Listening and look forward to taking action alongside all of you. THANK YOU! 01:28:51 Luisa Havens Gerardo: Thank you! 01:28:56 Laura Jacobs Anderson: Thank you! 01:28:56 Alecia Fields: Thank you! 01:28:57 Hope Lemons: Thank you! 01:28:57 Tina DeNeen: Good job, panelists 01:29:01 Teri Mickle: Thank you! 01:29:02 Julia Westwater: thank you!! 01:29:02 Kadia Hufford: thank you 01:29:03 Marilee Lukefahr: Thank you so much. This was incredible. 01:29:04 Wendolyn Davis: Thank you! 01:29:06 Molly Turner: Thank you so much for sharing. 01:29:07 Janelle Smith: Thank you!!! 01:29:15 Smita Garg: Thank you for this space. Therapeutic. 01:29:15 Elizabeth Curry: Thank you! This was great 01:29:30 Patricia Hachten: Thank you so very much
