What an eye-opener. Every human being should take a course like this. I wish I had been able to take this course 20 years ago.
I have complete my course but till now I didn't get my certificate.
Shawn and Jennifer made this course easy and learn and understand social injustices past and present. I look forward to the idea of Anti-Racism II.
