Acknowledgements
The
struggle to live in an anti-racist world is the struggle for our
children.
In
acknowledging people who have influenced this work, it is important
to remember the activism in the past that led to the existence of
this department, and all those involved in the ongoing efforts to
combat racism, discrimination, and related intolerance.
We
Remember:
The
heroic struggle of all people against racism; as well as those that
have fought for equality and justice under democratic development,
the rule of law with respect for human rights. This includes those
that have died in the struggle and those that are continuing to
fight against racism and for a society that values ethnic and
cultural diversity.

case changed Seattle schools.
