Online Discussion Groups
Please register for the online discussions listed below that you would like to attend and participate.
PRE-REQUISITES: Please read the The Atlantic article: https://sinclair.edu/www/assets/File/Hom-StuLif-DivCam/The%20False%20Promise%20of%20Anti-Racism%20Books.pdf Texts that seek to raise the collective American consciousness are rendered futile without concrete systemic changes. In today’s cultural moment—during which hundreds of mainstream institutions in the U.S. are acknowledging systemic racism—books and other content about race and discrimination have surged in popularity. Zoom link: https://sinclair.zoom.us/j/96013902385 "Preferred Pronouns" is a term that we all need to know--and use. Larry Lindstrom, Liaison for Sinclair's office of LGBTQ+ Support, will facilitate a presentation and discussion regarding what preferred pronouns are and why they matter to all of us. Many Sinclair students are parents raising children, and especially now, in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, some of those children are grieving a lost loved one. Learn what you can do to connect parents and other adults to websites, books, videos, organizations, and other resources to help children of all ages cope with bereavement. PREREQUISITE: Please watch the (roughly four-minute) video before our session titled, "What Do People Need to Know about Childhood Grief?", https://www.facebook.com/NAGCnews/videos/1415565151816847/ PRE-REQUISITES: Please read the article from The Chronicle of Higher Education by Beth McMurtrie: https://www.chronicle.com/article/We-Can-t-Ignore-This/249001 DISCUSSION: The All In To Vote Challenge is a nationwide competition to increase student voter registration and discuss civic engagement. Help Sinclair mark the map of most students registered to vote! Learn more at this special session with Coach Jeff Price. The challenge is sponsored by the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC), and our own Coach Jeff Price is a member of the NABC task force for student voter engagement nationwide. Coach Price challenges Sinclair students, faculty and staff to get as many individuals within the Sinclair community to register and take the ALL IN Pledge. The more individuals that take the Pledge and list Sinclair, the higher we will move up the national leaderboard. To take the pledge, visit www.allintovote.org Do you know what books have been banned or challenged in US libraries or why they have been banned or challenged? Find out about books that have been banned because of ethnic, racial or LBGTQ related content. Be part of the conversation: are there reasons books should be banned? What are the implications of banning books? “Women's suffrage" refers to the right of women to vote and to hold public office. The "women's suffrage movement" (or "woman suffrage movement") includes all the organized activities of reformers to change laws that kept women from voting or to add laws and constitutional amendments to guarantee women the right to vote. PRE-REQUISITE: Please view this video before the session. PRE-REQUISITE: Please read the article posted in The Chronicle of Higher Education by Francie Diep: https://www.chronicle.com/article/How-Higher-Ed-Can-Fight/248897 DISCUSSION: PRE-REQUISITES: Participants view video before the discussion: https://www.ted.com/talks/alex_gendler_history_vs_christopher_columbus/transcript?language=en#t-3895 The Peanut Butter Falcon is an adventure story set in the world of a modern Mark Twain that begins when Zak, 22, a young man with Down syndrome, runs away from the nursing home where he lives to chase his dream of becoming a professional wrestler by attending the wrestling school The Salt Water Redneck. Through circumstances beyond their control Tyler, a 32 year old, small-time outlaw on the run, becomes Zak's unlikely coach and ally. This thought provoking film will allow us to process how we may be challenged to strengthen our disability awareness and embrace the diversity that this population brings to our communities. Please watch the film: https://login.sinclair.ohionet.org/login?url=https://digitalcampus.swankmp.net/sinclair311909/play/11C53A9197E3294A Discussion on the TEDTalk by Emmanuel Acho, a former NFL linebacker, who started an online series “Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Man” as an educational tool. In this episode, Carl Lentz, lead pastor of Hillsong East Coast, sits down with Acho to have an uncomfortable conversation about the role religion plays in fueling and/or killing racism.

The "women's suffrage movement" (or "woman suffrage movement") includes all the organized activities of reformers to change laws that kept women from voting or to add laws and constitutional amendments to guarantee women the right to vote. PRE-REQUISITE: Please view this video before the session. This discussion will focus on the laws in both the past and present that continue to aid in the institutionalization of racism that bars access to resources and opportunities for people of color. This workshop will provide information dissecting the racial climate of today through a lense of African American Studies to unpack what racism is and how to bridge the gaps within our society. In commemoration of the 2020 Suffrage Centennial, please consider joining a discussion group focused on the struggles of ALL American women to gain the right to vote. The book Why They Marched: Untold Stories of the Women Who Fought for the Right to Vote will be the focus of our three discussions (see description below). The first fifteen folks to sign up will receive a free copy of the text! The history of Dayton-area suffrage will also be discussed. Looking beyond the national leadership of the suffrage movement, an acclaimed historian gives voice to the thousands of women from different backgrounds, races, and religions whose local passion and protest resounded throughout the land. For far too long, the history of how American women won the right to vote has been told as the tale of a few iconic leaders, all white and native-born. But Susan Ware uncovered a much broader and more diverse story waiting to be told. Why They Marched is a tribute to the many women who worked tirelessly in communities across the nation, out of the spotlight, protesting, petitioning, and insisting on their right to full citizenship. Ware tells her story through the lives of nineteen activists, most of whom have long been overlooked. We meet Mary Church Terrell, a multilingual African American woman; Rose Schneiderman, a labor activist building coalitions on New York’s Lower East Side; Claiborne Catlin, who toured the Massachusetts countryside on horseback to drum up support for the cause; Mary Johnston, an aristocratic novelist bucking the Southern ruling elite; Emmeline W. Wells, a Mormon woman in a polygamous marriage determined to make her voice heard; and others who helped harness a groundswell of popular support. We also see the many places where the suffrage movement unfolded?in church parlors, meeting rooms, and the halls of Congress, but also on college campuses and even at the top of Mount Rainier. Few corners of the United States were untouched by suffrage activism. Ware’s deeply moving stories provide a fresh account of one of the most significant moments of political mobilization in American history. The dramatic, often joyous experiences of these women resonate powerfully today, as a new generation of young women demands to be heard. Please join us for a discussion on the best seller book: Shook One. As the author, Charlamange tha God, described in the book "Fear is holding you back. It's time to turn the tables and channel your fears to actually fuel your successes." PRE-REQUISITES: Please read the book Shook One: Anxiety Playing Tricks On Me Discussion on the TEDTalk by Emmanuel Acho, a former NFL linebacker, who started an online series “Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Man” as an educational tool.

Participants to view TEDTalk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7BCScklTfs0 Former NFL linebacker Emmanuel Acho started an online series “Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Man” as an educational tool at a time when the racial divide between white and black Americans is at a peak. In this episode, Chip & Joanne Gaines sit down with Emmanuel Acho to have an uncomfortable conversation about teaching their kids to "see color" and Acho is asked, "if he's afraid of white people."

We will discuss how 5 coaches and their teams unwittingly sped up the integration of college athletics. Adolph Rupp, Don Haskins, Ara Parseghian, Duffy Daugherty, and Bear Bryant, all Hall of Fame coaches had unique roles in the landscape of college athletics being changed forever.
