Abby Ferber Quotes
«A real problem with Black History Month is that we focus on individuals, yet we ignore the larger social structure of racism. Students might study great people who made great accomplishments, but it isn't seen as an issue that's relevant today.»
«For example, as a white woman, I'm shaped by my class, my gender, my race, my sex. My life is shaped by privilege as a white person, but at the same time, I may have experienced discrimination based on my gender or my religion.»
«It's pretty clear that no one is only oppressed in their life. This framework empowers everyone in the classroom. It helps everyone see that these issues are about them. We are all part of the problem as well as the solution, and acknowledging that creates a sense of commonality.»
