#resiliencechat Tidbit: Martin King, Jr.'s birth name was Michael, not Martin.
His father, traveled to Germany and became inspired by the Protestant Reformation leader Martin Luther. As a result, King Sr. changed his own name as well as that of his 5-year-old son.
I always remember when he was assassinated. On Chicago's SE side there was looting that took place. About half of my class did not return after lunch. #resiliencechat
Q2: What type of work or activities have you engaged in--either on your own or through work--that have contributed to your ability to be more culturally responsive? #resiliencechat
A2: Reading the novel To Kill a Mockingbird. We learned the historical context of the book and that really opened my eyes to how different cultures were viewed. #Resiliencechat
A2: not sure it's culturally responsive or humanly, but I emphasize choose kindness and accountability daily.
You are the person that can make change. Start with the little changes like accountability for you and how you treat others. #resiliencechat
A2: I am am member of our divisional FNMI co hort increasing our baseline knowledge about historical and contemporary aboriginal issues #resiliencechat
A1) We watch his âDreamâ speech with our two daughters every year. We talk about it. And we attend the library storytime (led by a dear friend) who honors his memory every year. #resiliencechat
A2: On a personal note, I have am multi-ethnic and I have tasted different foods from around the world. And that has shown me a different side of culture. #ResilienceChat
A2. I have had the opportunity to hear two excellent speakers on the topic of Cultural Diversity and Cultural Competency. Both from Michigan.
Dr. Jay Marks https://t.co/WlLZkXcuzk
and Huda Essa. @culturelinksllc
Learned some great things from both speakers! #resiliencechat
Q3: Equity issues continue to be in the forefront of education. What is one thing that you would like to see happen in education to make it more equitable for all? #resiliencechat
A3: My theory is this: We are all human. Love is love. We all have a right to be heard, but we also have to listen. We all need to treat each other with respect and kindness. Stop the madness. Stand up even if it means standing alone. †#resiliencechat
A4: My dream is to go to @UCBerkeley after graduating/transferring from @solanocommcolle And at Berkeley I plan to major in Science. This is all thanks to my wonderful school district @FairfieldSuisun and my high school @FSUSD_ECHS#ResilienceChat (mind you, Iâm only a Sophomore)

A2) Youâll often find me and my wife and kids marching on capitols, chanting at rallies, or writing/calling politicians. All for causes that donât directly benefit us as straight white people. Weâre anti-injustice, no matter the victim we seek to assist. #resiliencechat

A3) Adequate funding for starters! And a frank discussion on whether homework should be a necessary/graded component of learning. Also, Iâd like schools to have on-site dentists and therapists with free services for kids. Maybe weekend food boxes to take home... #resiliencechat
