We Are the Ones—Live on Stage!
We Are the Ones is a new play written/directed by Lisa Lacy, with music/musical direction by Charles Cooper and choreography by Grace O. Wash. This event celebrates African beginnings, African-American history, struggles, culture, traditions and achievements. Three young lives are forever changed when they are transported back into time by two ancient African warriors to witness historical occurrences and its impact on current day lives. As the fabric of African-American history is unraveled, each youth is challenged to look at their own lives and internal challenges and determine what their contributions will be, moving forward.

INDEPENDENT LEARNING OPPORTUNITY--
Deconstructing White Privilege with Dr. Robin DiAngelo
Dr. Robin DiAngelo is the author of "What Does it Mean to Be White? Developing White Racial Literacy" and has been an anti-racist educator, and has heard justifications of racism by white men and women in her workshops for over two decades. This justification, which she calls “white fragility,” is a state in which even a minimum amount of racial stress becomes intolerable, triggering a range of defensive moves. These moves include outward display of emotions such as anger, fear, and guilt, and behaviors such as argumentation, silence, and leaving the stress-inducing situation.
This video is part of the Vital Conversations 1 video series as part of the Racial Healing Spaces with local Sacramento community interfaith partners— Pastor Joy Johnson, Jan Merrill and Gary Bond.

HOST EVENT--
Stereotype Threat—Connecting Fear and Oppression to Success
|
Join Folsom Lake College’s Student Equity Advocates for an engaging presentation about how stereotype threat exists in society and flies under the radar while hurting people every day. Stereotypes are more than exaggerations or overly emphasized characterizations of societal groups. They are used, often unknowingly as part of an unequal power system that negatively affects those groups who most often experience the negative reinforcement of stereotyping. This presentation focuses on how stereotyping effects the potential for a student to succeed and how equal access is an untruth. Knowing that social determinants of health and wellness, including educational achievement for African Americans are shown to have the greatest disparities in the U.S., this presentation is a must see.

BlacKKKlansman Film and Discussion
Not long after Donald Trump assumed office, a screenplay adapted from Black police officer Ron Stallworth’s memoir Black Klansman, about his experience infiltrating the Ku Klux Klan in the 1970’s, began its journey to story tell while exposing the subtle (and sometimes explicit) biases contaminating our society. Join Folsom Lake College Student Equity Advocates in a discussion that helps to reveal the often unseen truths that allow systemic racism to sustain.
