In the past few months, we have witnessed drastic attempts to roll back the last 60 years of civil rights and anti-racist gains. In the aftermath of the racial justice uprisings in 2020 sparked by the murder of George Floyd, colleges, universities, organizations, and businesses made a surge of commitments to increase diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts. This hard-won progress now faces escalating backlash. This e-course explores why movements for racial justice are under attack, the systemic barriers preventing progress, and strategies to counteract injustice in workplaces, schools, and communities. Through historical context, institutional analysis, and actionable tools, this course empowers individuals and institutions to stay committed to anti-racism work and drive meaningful change. Whether you're new to this work or seeking to strengthen your advocacy, this course provides a critical roadmap for sustained impact.

"Tim‘s presentations were absolutely amazing. People from our campus community and the community at large are still talking about it. Like the after effects of an earthquake, his presence and words were so powerful that we are still experiencing tremors."

"Tim joined our faculty virtually and did an outstanding job outlining that we are in the middle of the largest racial justice uprising in history. He offered context and clarity on the importance of the moment that was accessible to the entire faculty. He gave us tangible take aways for us to implement with our students. He spoke brilliantly for over an hour, with great enthusiasm and grace because he included and invited everyone to engage with the material in a safe way. The faculty felt empowered and energized to take his messages back to our students. He was simply amazing!"
