Issues of race in America can be sensitive and uncomfortable. Most people avoid or limit them. This practice has unfortunately limited our knowledge of racial issues and undermined our ability to empower youth with empathetic understanding and capacity to redesign, reshape and reconstruct society for a 21st century multicultural Inclusive America. This workshop offers a unique insight with resources and tools for participants to become comfortable with issues of race and empowered to teach others.

EMPOWERING INSIGHT
In 1964, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. gave an impassioned speech to a crowd
of 4,000 in the gymnasium of California Western University in San Diego, CA.
That campus is now Point Loma Nazarene University.
The speech was titled, “Remaining Awake Through a Great Revolution!”
King explained through the story of Rip Van Winkle how many Americans
had fallen asleep during periods of great social upheaval and change. By
the time they awoke, demonstrable change had occurred, and the society
they once knew was now unrecognizable.
This is the danger we find ourselves in today as a society. A great revolution
occurred in our lifetime & is still ongoing. The US government described it as
“the most important domestic event in the postwar period of the United
States.” Sadly, generations of Americans do not know & still remain asleep.
Our workshop awakens Americans of all ages to better understand through
empathetic eyes and ears the “great revolution” America is experiencing in
redesigning, reshaping and reconstructing our society for the human race.

THESIS: We are one human race living in a segregated society designed on an obsolete
foundation of racial hierarchy. Nearly 60 years ago, a great revolution
rose up to change the status quo & build an Inclusive America.

WHO BENEFITS FROM THIS WORKSHOP?
Parents concerned with how to best prepare and equip youth, teens and young adults to
understand systemic biases and institutionalized racism established in early America, the
struggles to change those systems through previous generations and the role of current
generations living today across all races to redesign, reshape and reconstruct the future.
Educators concerned with teaching the whole truth about US history, civics, government and
social studies. Unfortunately, textbooks have omitted huge chunks of important information
that has resulted in generations of ill-informed Americans at all socioeconomic levels.
Elected leaders concerned with moving the needle of change to disrupt inherited
segregationist policies and practices, and establish equitable access to opportunities and
pathways to prosperity for all of their constituents. Staff training, professional development.
Racial Equity leaders and activists concerned with closing the gaps across chasms of disparity
in housing, income, job and promotion opportunities, wealth-building, access to capital,
investments, R&D, entrepreneurship and the growth of minority-owned businesses.
Preachers, Pastors, Priests, Rabbis and other religious leaders concerned with the soul of
America and their congregation’s understanding of the evolution of race in America and the
“great revolution,” of which Reverend Dr. King, Jr speaks (which emerged from within the
church to rise up against a war that was waged in the name of the church based on race).
Journalists, Business, Philanthropic and Community Leaders concerned with understanding the
deepening divides in America over race, the growing minority populations that move the US
ever closer to a minority majority population, and the ramifications of what the inevitable shift
means for the economy, political powers, and the impact on society writ large.
Racial Bias facilitators concerned with changing the implicit bias inherent in workplaces across
the private sector employer landscape, wherein 80% of all US employers are white (64% white
male). Our workshop is an instructional lab that lowers resistance to racial bias training through
an energized education on how white Americans established the foundations of the nation
and will determine the future course of change in partnership with multicultural allies.
