Many are distraught, angry, or confused by the jury ruling in the Trayvon Martin case. As thousands of citizens around the country deal with this ruling, we too must examine the impact of Trayvon Martin’s death, and the trial that followed. At the Inclusion Center, we believe that prejudice affects us all. People of all races are influenced by racial stereotypes, messages promulgated through out the media, and stories we are told growing up. The work of dismantling racial stereotypes and judgements are a constant challenge but necessary when addressing human relations. After all, we cannot separate ourselves from the world we live in.
