Reflections 2020 began in the spring of 2021 and while these postings will come to an end with episode 5, the thoughtfulness, action and commitment they honor can never end. Consistent with the past 4 postings, this episode is introduced by a family quote leading to a video discussion to enhance learning, thoughtfulness and practice related to inequities, social justice and racism. The goal has been to deepen our understanding and discover varied paths to healing and joining in the work of mitigating inequities and creating trustworthiness within our institutions and ourselves.

This longer video not only introduces the 5 th episode but also serves to provide a snapshot of the ideas and perspectives of the past 4 episodes highlighting some of the authors, videos, resources that may enrich the landscape within which we view inequities, violence and systemic racism.
