“Dismantling racist structures requires a review of the history that created those structures. It requires
understanding the history of the construct of race as a culture, the white supremacy ideology, the
centuries of laws intended to maintain positions of power for whites, and the ways in which the equity
and diversity efforts within California’s community colleges have fallen short. Constructing anti-racist
structures and developing anti-racist campus cultures require an understanding of the tenets of anti-racism education and principles for professional development.” – Anti-Racism Education in the
California Community Colleges
