Teaching, and Learning, about Race

"I'm blessed to be a part of that awakening in so many of them," she said. "Often they thank me, but in so many ways, I am at least as fortunate as they are."

Hers is an amazingly difficult job, because so many students are learning about race and privilege for the very first time. We can be glad they are being exposed to reality as college students, and these courses change lives. In many ways, this is what the university is for. But we should also be grateful for Dr. Harris, her patience, understanding and desire to be the profesor in that room when those conversaitons happen. Truly an inspired teacher and a rare individual.
