Subject: Re: [ACLA-CAAL] BCSA Open Letter regarding Congress incident <br>
<br>
<p>We've heard of "gardening while Black", "taking a nap while Black", and other instances of "living while Black" in North America:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.cnn.com/2018/12/20/us/living-while-black-police-calls-trnd/index.html">
https://www.cnn.com/2018/12/20/us/living-while-black-police-calls-trnd/index.html</a>
<br>
</p>
<p>Now we have "attending an academic conference while Black". <br>
</p>
<p>But let's flip this: we are also "witnessing Whiteness".<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>So after reading about race at AAA, join me in (further) inquiring about Whiteness. Here are some resources to start, are there suggestions for others?<br>
