00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,440
Not my idea by Anastasia Higgenbotham.

2
00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:06,160
When grown ups try to hide scary things from
kids,

3
00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:08,480
it's usually because they are scared too.

4
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:10,720
You don't need to worry about this.

5
00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:11,680
Understand?

6
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:14,800
Now, skin color makes a difference in how the
world

7
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:15,440
sees you.

8
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:17,040
I want to bring my aunt a gift.

9
00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:18,320
This will only take a minute.

10
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:20,720
It makes a difference in how much trouble
seems to

11
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:24,080
find you or let you be in stores, in cars,

12
00:00:24,080 --> 00:00:24,960
at school.

13
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:27,120
So relieved you got here safely.

14
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:28,080
Why wouldn't we?

15
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:29,200
The protests.

16
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:30,800
Marchers came to demand justice.

17
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:33,600
Demand an end to killings across the nation.

18
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:34,960
They're blocking the road.

19
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:37,200
You may get the message that racism is
happening only

20
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:38,560
to black and brown people.

21
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:40,240
I can't watch the news.

22
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:42,880
That police officer was just doing his job.

23
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:44,560
Come away from the TV now.

24
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:45,600
You can face this.

25
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:47,680
Understanding the truth takes courage.

26
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:49,280
Racism was not your idea.

27
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:51,840
You can bring your curiosity to learn about
it.

28
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:54,640
Some white people joined the leaders of Black
Liberation.

29
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:56,880
Angelina Grimke and Sarah Grimke.

30
00:00:56,880 --> 00:01:00,160
White people joined the Student Nonviolent
Coordinating Committee.

31
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:03,920
Julian Bond, Nina Simone, nuns joined fellow
marchers on the

32
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:05,440
Selma to Montgomery March.

33
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:08,400
John Lewis and fellow demonstrators kneel in
1962.

34
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:11,040
Colin Kaepernick kneels in 2017.

35
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,600
You have a chance to care about this to
connect.

36
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:15,200
I need to know what's going on.

37
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:17,600
Why didn't anyone teach me real history?

38
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:19,840
You can't hide what's right in front of me.

39
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,480
I know what that police officer did was wrong.

40
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:25,200
Racial justice is possible, but only if we're
honest with

41
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:26,560
each other and ourselves.

42
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:28,560
Your history's not all written yet.

43
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:29,920
What do you want it to say?
