What does Cross racial solidarity look, sound and feel like? Elizabeth and Liza speak with Dr. Howard Stevenson about the need to acknowledge racial stress so that we can be authentic and antiracist in our cross racial relationships.

In this episode, Jenna and Liza talk with a cross racial team, Dr. Tabitha Moore and Erin Maguire from Vermont public schools about how they have been able to build a successful collaboration across race to effect greater change.

Jenna sits down to interview Liza, our new co-host, and they discuss what it it means to have principled partnerships across race.

In this episode, we interview two teachers who detracked their math classes. We also spoke with some of their students to find out the impact of tracking and how we can make math literacy more equitable for all.
