(upbeat music)
-: There is an African American spiritual that begins
with the line, "Lift every voice and sing."
So, if you are asking what we should be doing,
I think we should ask ourselves,
"Are we lifting every voice?" Right?
"How is this curriculum lifting every voice?"
"How is this process lifting every voice?"
When we develop a list
of journals where people should publish in,
is that lifting every voice, right?
When we have a process to recruit people,
is that lifting every voice?
We need to start interrogating these things.
And not just act like as if everything is fine.
So there are hidden structures that we need to question
and maybe tear those structures down and rebuild again.
