Seattle has a unique civil rights history that challenges the way we think about race, civil rights, and the Pacific Northwest. Civil rights movements in Seattle started well before the celebrated struggles in the South in the 1950s and 1960s, and they relied not just on African American activists but also on Filipino Americans, Japanese Americans, Chinese Americans, Jews, Latinos, and Native Americans. They also depended upon the support of some elements of the region's labor movement. From the 1910s through the 1970s, labor and civil rights were linked in complicated ways, with some unions and radical organizations providing critical support to struggles for racial justice, while others stood in the way.
This multi-media web site brings the vital history of Seattle's civil rights movements to life with scores of video oral histories, hundreds of rare photographs, documents, movement histories, and personal biographies, more than 300 pages in all. Based at the University of Washington, the Seattle Civil Rights and Labor History Project is a collaboration between community groups and UW faculty and students. Here is more About the Project, about our contributors, and the project's impact.Comedian Louis CK: "On Being White" on youtube: "From his latest stand-up "Chewed Up" - Louis CK tells people why it's great being a white male. It's advantages and it's futuristic disadvantages."

I decided to visit the Tim Wise website. He is an anti-racist writer and the author of five different books. I am particularly interested in his website and more about him. We have touched on racism in our English 102 class as well as my multicultural communications class. Even though some people over look racism, it is an issue that still exists today.
ReplyDeleteOne thing that I really caught my eye was that Tim provided training about being anti-of racism to teachers nationwide. He has trained a variety of people ranging from people in health care to law enforcement. He has also appeared one hundreds of radio and television programs.
Wise also has links to current news and other readings. When talking about Native Americans in class it makes me connect back to this site. When exploring sites for my research paper I have found that indigenous people can get discriminated upon because they are often misunderstood.
I highly recommend visiting his website at timwise.org. It has a lot of great information that is very interesting. Although he has no upcoming appearances posted, I definitely look forward to see if he comes anywhere close.
I had seen the Louis CK "On Being White" before, and while I think it is really funny, it's actually sad that it's so funny.
ReplyDeleteHe talks about how being a white male is pretty much the best thing that could happen to someone. In America, white privilege and male privilege have been incredibly obvious throughout our history. But as we are growing as a country and embracing multiculturalism more, those 'privileges' that have been the root of white culture need to change. What's sad is that most white men are completely unaware of the unspoken privilege and yet completely unwilling to give those rights up.
I would be interested in finding out more on what Louis CK thinks about white privilege. He uses that bit in his stand up, but maybe he just says it for humor's sake? That's what I would like to think, anyway =)
