We are honored to collaborate with the Southern Poverty Law Center and Teaching Tolerance for this very special free webinar.

This session will feature lessons from SPLC/Tolerance.org’s new podcast, “Sounds Like Hate,” examining the DNA of extremism, and a very special conversation with the producer and key players in the story. 

In the podcast episode called “Not Okay,” which premieres shortly before this webinar, listeners go inside Randolph Union High School in Vermont, where 95% of students are white. The high school is at the center of two linked battles that are tearing their community apart: whether to remove a mascot some say bears a disturbing resemblance to a hooded Ku Klux Klansman charging on a horse and whether to fly the Black Lives Matter flag. 

Our free webinar offers a unique opportunity to explore hard issues around justice, equity, diversity and inclusion, and the storytelling behind the issues.

Featuring (clockwise from top left) the directors-producers, Geraldine Moriba and Jamila Paksima, the Principal of Randolph Union HS at the heart of the story, Elijah Hawkes, Cory Collins, senior writer at Teaching Tolerance, and Curtis Reed of the Vermont Partnership in Fairness and Diversity.
