The Austin Story Workshop at St. Christopher's helped to open our parishioners’ eyes to the history of systemic racism in Austin. Hearing stories of people's memories of the black community forged in East Austin helped us enter a world we never had the chance to know. The workshop allowed us to help hold the collective grief over the loss of this community and examine our own assumptions about what it means to be an Austinite. I was especially grateful for the panel discussion and the time each of the contributors took to be with us online.

One Human Race provided an outstanding professional development session for our staff this fall. The Austin Story led our staff through important learning about our city's history of racial segregation and discrimination, while illuminating the forces and dynamics shaping our city's future. The presenters from One Human Race didn't stop at providing information - they also approached our staff with respect and modeled how we can and should be with one another when walking through crucial learning experiences about race.  One Human Race guided us through reflection on our individual positions as educators and helped us consider our collective responsibility as an institution of education to strive for equitable outcomes for our students and their families.  Partnering with One Human Race allowed our campus to build on our previous professional learning about racial equity and social justice, while expanding our understanding of the larger systems influencing our school and our students, such as gentrification and displacement of communities of color.

One Human Race's ongoing commitment to Southwest has created brave spaces on campus by educating our community on local Austin history and facilitating conversations and training for racial reconciliation. The Black History Month Planning Committee is grateful for the profound exhibit, where One Human Race featured the Austin Story, followed by live presentations and workshops.

Re-envisioning our institutions in ways that challenge deep and systemic racist structures within them is hard work! It requires patience, trust, long-term commitments, courage, vulnerability, and the wisdom of others. One Human Race's workshop and walkthrough display at Seminary of the Southwest accomplished what might seem to be impossible: they pointed us down this long path, and they allowed us to see the journey as hopeful!  

Dr. Anthony Baker, Seminary of the Southwest

Every single person in this country should take part in the One Human Race Workshop.  We all learn about the history of our country in school, but it truly is sanitized. I learned so many things that I never knew before and I have a new and better understanding of what it is like to be of a different race than I am. This workshop inspired me to be a better person. It inspired me to step up and speak out and not sit back and let the injustice of racism continue.  Thank you so much for sharing this with all of us.
