Here’s what people have had to say about WPCR classes:

· "It allowed me to become more comfortable challenging myself and my own assumptions with less guilt and more honesty."

· "When I was in the class, I realized that looking face on to this problem was giving me a lot of energy and enthusiasm, instead of a lot of guilt and despair."

· "I had been stuck thinking about this mostly in my head and it was very helpful to have other folks to discuss it with."

· "I learned most from listening to other participants."

· "I have a Ph.D., which is to say that I have taken probably several hundred courses in my life; unlike many that I enjoyed at the time but barely remember if at all today, White People Challenging Racism raised issues I continue to ponder and work to figure out."

· "It was nice to be in a program where everyone was open to examining their personal bias and difficulties with recognizing and admitting that we all had some sort of racism within ourselves."

· "The readings have really stuck with me and get richer as I re-read them."

· "The role plays were particularly helpful in showing me that I could act differently in situations that I was very worried about (e.g. ...at family holidays)"
