NEW YORK (PRWEB) July 13, 2020

George Floyd's murder ignited a wave of national and global protests demanding justice and change, including police reform and reparations for Black Americans. Structural Racism is not exclusive to the United States. Racism is clearly a global problem.

In a new interview with C.M. Rubin, Michael Baran, the Co-Author of Subtle Acts of Exclusion, says communities "need to work to address structural inequalities in societies in health, wealth, education, and criminal injustice." Baran believes that it is important to start talking about bias with preschool children. "If we don't teach them about this, they will learn passively through all the subtle messages in our culture, which leads to unconscious biases." Baran additionally advocates for more focus on training teachers to be inclusive, "as teachers can have unconscious biases as well."
