Quotes from the episode

For the first half of my life I was race blind.

–Stephen Brookfield

I was colluding in a system and in practices that reinforced racism without consciously being aware of this.

–Stephen Brookfield

Most white people grow up with these elements in their consciousness but are unaware that they’re there.

–Stephen Brookfield

We’re here to challenge, rather than to reassure.

–Stephen Brookfield

We know that we’ll have been successful when … some of our comfortable assumptions are being questioned.

–Stephen Brookfield
