Stop & Think: What Did You Learn About Speaking Up or Keeping Silent?

1. What do you remember from childhood about how you made sense out of the great range of human differences? Did you ask questions? If not, what stopped you? If you did, who did you ask?
2. What are your earliest memories of noticing differences such as skin color or economic class? What words did you have to describe what you noticed? What feelings did you absorb from adults about those differences?
3. What topics did you learn were not for children to discuss? How did you feel about those subjects?
4. What keeps you silent today when you hear or see evidence of bias or prejudice?
