In light of recent and absolutely unacceptable displays of police brutality and white supremacy in the US and Australia, this week's episode diverts from the VCE curriculum a little bit to give air-time to Dr Maya Angelou's The Caged Bird. This poem really encapsulates the division that white privilege and the legacy of discrimination create in our society while reminding us that the narrative is far from resolved. If you're not listening to this while on the run, we highly recommend you google a copy and read along with us. Black Lives Matter and in our opinion, literature is one of the best tools we have for raising awareness and empathy so we can begin to break these injustices down.
