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. Within 3 months,
there is now a website, podcast, social media streams, and online course – all addressing
systemic racism in America.

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
