Keep Your Eye on the Prize
KSUnite DEIB Conference Day 1 - November 14, 2022 - Breakout Sessions Period 1 (2:30pm-3:20pm)
Big 12 Room
We will watch 2 to 3 vignettes from The Eyes on The Prize documentary series. Our purpose will be to view live footage of the injustice done to the African Americans during the civil rights movement that will lead to discussion / dialogue and action around the following questions. 1) How did this live footage make you feel? What did you see in this live footage? What does the live footage today look like? 2) Identify and Describe Courage and Fear from the live footage. 3) Identify and Describe hate and why is it associated with injustice from the live footage. 4) From this journey in the 60's what has changed and what hasn't changed? 5) How can you be a power for change in respect to injustice? Describe how you would stand up to injustice today and why is it everyone’s responsibility? What stops people from standing up to injustice?
We will take a look into the past from live footage of what was happening at that stage of the journey to justice and challenge participants to look at the current stage of the journey and discover how they will use their power to be involved in the continuing journey for justice.
