This is part of SGORR's podcast series on the experience of minority students at private schools. The second episode will provide insight into what diversity is like at private schools. This is discussed among students within the topics of friend groups, and how the school itself promotes diversity.

The second episode in SGORR's series of CORE leader interviews! Tune in to get to know Ian (senior) and Sarah (sophomore). 

Dr. King was assassinated on April 4, 1968 but his legacy continues to live on through the work of his children, his supporters and fellow leaders of a larger movement for social change. Dr. Wilder — Shaker Heights Schools’ first Executive Director of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion — discusses Dr. King's influence on her leadership in our community with Jaimee Martin.

This episode is part of a series made by Ian and Sarah's SGORR group. For this series, we interviewed students from Hathaway Brown, University School, Laurel, and Hawken to provide a platform for them to reflect on their experiences. The purpose of this podcast is not to criticize these schools but to uplift students' voices and weave together the story of each school. In each episode, we will share clips of students discussing one topic, such as: the general diversity of the school; feeling out of place or feeling like a token minority; disciplinary actions and the administration's response to social issues and issues of race at the school; and how comfortable students feel expressing their viewpoints on social issues
This episode will serve as an introduction to the series. Each student will introduce themselves and state what they think the purpose of this podcast should be, as well as who their intended audience is.

Introducing CORE podcasts where our Shaker community will have the opportunity to get to know our SGORR leaders, their values, passions and MORE!! Check out this episode to get to know CORE leaders Brendan Zbanek and Isaiah Kyremes Parks.
