Unconscious Bias

We all have them, unconscious biases infect even the most open-mined individual. They can be very consequential. Cache' a biracial 26 year old's story was headline news, a love story with a tragic ending. Tony a Professor at Cornell University, a Muslim teen, and many others share stories that prove regardless of education, economic privilege, or being an American citizen how unconscious biases are the root of many bigoted actions. These actions often don't represent who we think we are, until after a swift decision has been made and the severity of the action leaves no room for denial. We are asked to challenge ourselves and are given a start point to begin the process to become aware and work on eliminating these biases.
