Why Are They So Angry? A conversation with: Dr. Carol Francois, Learning Ambassador Carol is a lifelong Educator/Teacher who proudly proclaims that teaching is in her DNA and she cannot not teach! After George Floyd’s death, she was compelled to do something, so sharing a book list lead to starting a FB group and moderating historical book reviews.

Highlights from this conversation  Disruption can be positive when life needs to shift gears  George Floyd was a turning point - What can I do?  Shared my book list to help people understand America’s history of systemic racism  A friend suggested I lead a book group  Over 300 members on the Why Are They So Angry? FB page  Over time we realize how much we don’t know  Delivering American History with the parts that have been left out  Started exploring books about different systems in America and how Black people have been treated  Systemic Racism: See it, Say it, Confront it  Knowledge + Action = Power  Diversity VS. Anti - Racism  Know what your Anti is about so when you see it, you can call it out  Becoming more comfortable discussing the undiscussables  Check our own core values  Systemic racism is supported through hierarchy and power  Biases, Bigotry and Prejudices do not necessarily = systemic racism but can support it  Be responsible for your own learning Resources: https://www.facebook.com/WhyAreTheySoAngry/ [https://www.facebook.com/WhyAreTheySoAngry/] https://www.instagram.com/whyaretheysoangry/ [https://www.instagram.com/whyaretheysoangry/] https://twitter.com/WATSA_Online [https://twitter.com/WATSA_Online] Follow/Contact Carol: www.whyaretheysoangry.com [http://www.whyaretheysoangry.com] carol@whyaretheysoangry.com [carol@whyaretheysoangry.com] Phone (w) 214-301-0074
