IDEAL's Black in America Dialogue

Over the past weeks, there have been three significant trials reigniting critical anti-racism conversations. As closing arguments are nearing or have concluded for some cases, the question of racial disparities and gun control are central in unpacking these societal inequities (e.g., assailants of Ahmaud Arbrey; Kyle Ritthenhouse's shooting of 3 protesters, and members of the 'Unite the Right' group- South Carolina).

IDEAL will continue to provide programming, dialogues, and events designed to help people understand systemic oppression in order to dismantle it. oppression. Their 'Black in America' is an anti-racism dialogue series dedicated to providing awareness on the importance of racial justice.

IDEAL will host a virtual dialogue on Wednesday, December 1st from 1:00 pm to 2:30 pm to discuss Criminal Justice, Gun Control, and the Black Lives Matter Movement. This dialogue will allow space to process trial outcomes and the climate on race relations in the United States.

'Temple works to increase the number of Black men in medicine'

"Black male physicians at Temple gathered in the Lewis Katz School of Medicine’s Medical Education and Research Building on Nov. 5 for the third annual Evening for Black in Men Medicine: an event celebrating the achievements of and offering mentorship opportunities for Black premedical and medical students as they make their way into the medical field.

Black male medical students accounted for just 3.1% of the national medical student body in 1978. By 2019, the figure had declined to 2.9%. And the number of Black male matriculants to medical schools for more than 40 years has not surpassed the numbers in 1978.

The evening was part of the Office of Health Equity, Diversity and Inclusion’s efforts to recruit, support, retain and advance high-quality medical students from backgrounds that are historically underrepresented in medicine, as well as to specifically address the ongoing shortage of Black men in medicine."

'The toll of being left behind at work'

"Some workers are more likely to get promoted than others, leaving many employees stagnating. This career stall out has a big impact.

We know certain people progress slower in the workplace than others. In 2020, Professors Paul Ingram and Jean Oh of New York City’s Columbia University found that US workers from lower social-class origins are 32% less likely to become managers than are people from higher origins, for example. More recently, McKinsey & Company and LeanIn’s collaborative 2021 women in the workplace report showed between entry level and the C-suite, women of colour’s representation falls by more than 75%. Subsequently, women of colour in the 423 US and Canadian companies surveyed account for just 4% of C-suite leaders – a number that’s almost flatlined in the past three years."

Documentary: Home From School: The Children Of Carlisle

"'Kill the Indian in him, and save the man.' This was the guiding principle that removed thousands of Native American children and placed them in Indian boarding schools. Among the many who died at Carlisle Indian Industrial School were three Northern Arapaho boys. Now, more than a century later, tribal members journey from Wyoming to Pennsylvania to help them finally come home." Click the link below to watch the PBS documentary.
