Susan trust is a huge issue. You can come with all the money in the world, and you can set it right on the table, and you can lease. Do you understand what im saying . If you want to have a relationship with me, understand what it is you are living in. We are living in this together. How do we get past everything that we have been told, what i have been told, what you have been told, the myths, the misnomers, all of that . I actually am the americorps vista leader here at tulane at the center for public service. Vista, and a team of a lot of them are recent college grads. They finished in may or maybe a couple years before that or they might be grad students. We have a couple of folks outside of that range, like myself, the we are really a minority but we are a minority. Training, asking about race and gender or equality or inequality, one of the things, especially with the Trayvon Martin case that was mentioned before, one of the things that i think a lot of us conversation with peopl
I actually spoke at their graduation last year. It is funny because i love my relationship with them. We are able to be very honest. I am able to say what kind of students i want to come through. I say that because we get a lot of students that come in, and they want to save everybody. Im constantly saying, not one person wants you to save them. They simply want the tools they need so they can do it for themselves. Also, i love the fact that they can save say, we dont have any students of color this year. That is honest. I have had that with other programs, as well. Because our clients are majority africanamerican i actually make the joke, and maybe some of you may not take it lightly how white are they . When i say, how white are they, she will answer me, no, no, good range. [laughter] in that, i can tell you we have had every student we have had, they are now waiting or trying to figure out how they can find money so they can come back and work at women with a vision.

I came to this work because i was working against violence against women. Stories are these really about violence against women. They are about incarceration, police brutality, but they are also about violence against women. Particularly violence against black women which is the target of the prison nation. I am humbled to be here. I so appreciate the work that you have done. I look forward to your leadership because you are organizing a world that i want to live in. Thank you.

The notion of violinist against black women violence against black women. I cant think about much of anything without thinking of it through the lens of 12 years a slave. If you have not yet seen it, you must. Theres a lot of discourse publicly about it at this moment, but for me, perhaps one of the most useful aspects
Government, they do not have the available. Part of it was, there is great history there. Even more secularized groups found it easier to collaborate in those ways. Some of the changes were called forth by the African American pastors that would be the first door and knocked on what somebody was released or in need of service. I remember tony evans meeting in the office with the president and td jakes and others of the frontline. They may not have some the sophistication of these established charities but they have capacity. Why would they be excluded . My question is this, there are differences. Dr. Diiulio wrote a textbook you would transfer. I want to know basically would it have stayed the same system since there are so many differences . What do you as a director pass on to the next . Headaches. [laughter] horrors. Messes to clean up. You cannot possibly look back. I said at the outset, what unites us is a lot bigger that divide us. The desire to put them on a level Playing Field
