Derald Wing Sue's series on racism: Tape #3 Overcoming Personal Racism: What Can I Do?

Derald Wing Sue Ph.D., Professor of Psychology and Education, Teachers College, Columbia University

What Can I Do? Based upon testimony before President Clinton's Race Advisory Board, Dr. Sue suggests what each of us can do to overcome our personal racism. He extracts five basic principles of how one overcomes racism: (1) learn about people of color from sources within the group, (2) learn from healthy and strong people of the culture, (3) learn from experiential reality, (4) learn from constant vigilance of your biases and fears, and (5) learn from being committed to personal action against racism.
