In advance of her JFK Jr. Forum talk, Untying Knots sat down with Ava DuVernay, Academy Award nominee and Emmy award winner, to talk about her pioneering work as a filmmaker and cultural arts leader. Her films, including the latest Origin, 13th, and When They See Us, disrupt false narratives of American history and cultivate a detailed view of the individual people impacted by large oppressive and racist systems. In the episode we discuss her films as an ongoing conversation with the audience, the power of ARRAY (the non-profit narrative change collective she founded), and the inspiration she takes from the life and work of filmmaker Haile Gerima. Through DuVernay’s gorgeous filmmaking, viewers are confronted with our societal past as well as the fullness of humanity required for reckoning and repair.
Notes:
Untying Knots, co-hosted by Nikhil Raghuveera and Erica Licht, explores how people and organizations are untying knots of systemic oppression and working towards a more equitable future. Each episode features special guests and a focus on thematic areas across society.

About the Institutional Antiracism and Accountability Project
The Institutional Antiracism and Accountability Project believes in working at the intersection of community, academia, and policy to address intellectual and practical questions as they relate to antiracism policy, practice, and institutional change. In order to create and sustain change, the goal of this project is to promote antiracism as a core value for organizations by critically evaluating structures and policies within institutions. The project aims to analytically examine the current field of antiracism with a lens on research and innovation, policy, dialogue, and community involvement.
Our vision is to be a leader in institutional antiracism research, policy, and advocacy, and propose structural change in institutions and media centered on antiracism work in the public, private, non-profit sectors and digital space. This work will focus on researching existing organizations that conduct antiracism training and development while analyzing their effectiveness and promoting best practices in the field. Additionally, we will study the implementation of antiracism work among institutions that self-identify as antiracist and promote accountability structures in order for them to achieve their goals.

White Americans are directly implicated in the perpetuation of structural racism, and also have much to gain in actively working to dismantle it. Untying Knots sat down with Erin Heaney, Executive Director of Showing Up for Racial Justice (SURJ), to discuss the core principles of SURJ’s organizing approach and to learn about how the national organization is working in predominantly white communities to advance racial and economic justice. Erin dives into key issue areas which serve as catalysts for building their organizing base, including healthcare and reproductive rights, rental and housing rights, and access to high-quality public education. Across the United States SURJ is working to direct white people away from far-right ideology, and work in service to Black-led movements for justice. At the grassroots level, they are laying the foundation for a larger and more accountable base of white Americans advocating for social change.

COVID-19 and the 2020 wave of racial justice demonstrations moved many healthcare organizations to enact antiracist change programs. Many of these commitments, however, lacked effective strategy and accountability.
Untying Knots talks to IARA Research Fellow Ángel Rodriguez and Dr. Meenakshi Verma-Agrawal, Board Member of the Southern Jamaica Plain Health Center, about IARA’s one-year study of antiracist interventions in healthcare organizations. In our conversation we hear about what makes this study and the organizations assessed in this research unique. Ultimately, the study’s findings and report highlight key organizational levers to close racial disparities in healthcare, and produce healthier and more equitable communities.

“Antiracism tells us relationship is always going to come before the methodology. In fact, it's required for it.” On this episode of Untying Knots Theo Miller and Erika Bernabi share the foundations of their organization, Equity and Results, and reflections from their related workshop at IARA’s 2022 Truth and Transformation convening.
Equity and Results is grounded in the model of Antiracist Results-Based Accountability, coupled with the antiracist organizing principles of the People’s Institute for Survival and Beyond. Their work strives to support organizations’ efforts in building a culture of accountability to advance racial justice through the use of praxis and intentional data use. In our discussion, Erika and Theo share key insights from their work with institutions throughout the US—including how they actively center the lived experiences of those most impacted at every stage of facilitation and program design. The results that Black, Indigenous, and communities of color need, must always come first, in healing-centered, antiracist, and liberatory spaces designed to shift power.

Dr. Khalil Gibran Muhammad and Dr. Bruce Western sat down with Untying Knots to discuss the pioneering new report “Reducing Racial Inequality in Crime and Justice.” The report, co-chaired by Muhammad and Western for the National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine, tackles the historical roots and present-day realities of racial inequality throughout America’s courts, prisons, jails, and policies, and charts an equitable course forward for solving them. During the interview, we learn more about key methodologies for addressing societal harm, including a community-centered lens of healing and justice. For the US to address racial inequality in its criminal justice system, it must first contend with the structural realities of disinvestment from Black, Indigenous and communities of color, and subsequent investment in their surveillance and policing.
Dr. Khalil Gibran Muhammad is Faculty Director of the IARA Project and Ford Foundation Professor of History, Race and Public Policy at the Harvard Kennedy School. Dr. Bruce Western is Bryce Professor of Sociology and Social Justice and Director of the Justice Lab at Columbia University.

Land Acknowledgements have become increasingly popular in many organizations and non-Indigenous communities over the last few years, but what is their actual impact? We sat down with Michaela Madrid and Jessica Gliden, Program Managers in Tribal Governance and Leadership Development at the Native Governance Center, to explore this question and their work with Tribal leaders and the 23 Native nations that share geography with Mni Sota Makoce, North Dakota, and South Dakota. They joined us for a live recording in Boston after leading a workshop for IARA’s Truth and Transformation 2022 conference entitled Beyond the Land Acknowledgement.
As Michaela notes, “A lot of times organizations really spin their wheels, and use a lot of resources to get the exact verbiage right, when they could be spending that time doing things that would actually support Native folks.” In our conversation, they describe the myriad of ways their organization is “helping Native people and nations thrive on their own terms,”1 supporting key initiatives in Tribal governance and leadership development, as well as engaging non-Indigenous allies to act for justice beyond performative statements.

On this episode of Untying Knots, we explore the relationship between communities of color and political power by turning to a case study of electoral organizing in the US Pacific Northwest. George Cheung, Director of More Equitable Democracy (MED), joins us to discuss how the American winner-take-all electoral system is not only failing to generate real democratic governance but also creating disproportionate harm on communities of color. In response, MED is organizing Black, Indigenous and people of color voters as critical stakeholders to advance electoral reform and racial justice. Cheung and team are keen on learning from examples throughout global history and working towards a more equitable future. As he notes, “We’ve constructed these systems, we can deconstruct them too.”

In this special episode of Untying Knots, hosts Erica Licht and Nikhil Raghuveera share a discussion from the 2021 Truth and Transformation Conference, hosted by the Institutional Antiracism and Accountability Project on October 14-15th 2021. The conference brought together a range of scholars, organizers, students, and organizational leaders to address whether organizations have lived up to the statements, commitments, and promises they made to racial equity the year before.
This panel, titled “Preserving Seats at the Table,” addressed the power of boards to steer equitable change for their companies, and what is at stake if they don’t. The discussion applied a power analysis to organizational hierarchy and power, by taking a closer look at the positions white leaders occupy, and their collusion with resistance to change. Ultimately, the panel addressed central questions including: how do boards sustain the status quo of racialized power, and how can they use their privilege towards an antiracist future?

In this special episode of Untying Knots, hosts Erica Licht and Nikhil Raghuveera share a discussion from the 2021 Truth and Transformation Conference, hosted by the Institutional Antiracism and Accountability Project on October 14-15th 2021. The conference brought together a range of scholars, organizers, students, and organizational leaders to address whether organizations have lived up to the statements, commitments, and promises they made to racial equity the year before.
The second panel of the day, titled “Equity Takes Time, Commitment, & Disruption,” explored what organizational commitments to sustaining racial equity work look like in practice—through both challenges and successes. The panelists discussed what they have experienced in facing reconciliation and loss during systemic change, through examples from their nonprofit, organizing, and philanthropy work. Responding to paramount questions from the field, they weighed in on: What is at stake if we change? And what is at stake if we don't?

The conference brought together a range of scholars, organizers, students, and organizational leaders to address whether organizations have lived up to the statements, commitments, and promises they made to racial equity a year before.
This panel, titled “Money Left on the Table,” addressed the economic argument for diversity and discussed two central questions: Does this argument even make sense? And why hasn't everyone already won? Key leaders from various organizational vantage points weighed in and provided insight on how they witness and address resistance to antiracist change.
