The Era of Reclamation
Teaching All Races and Cultures Human Rights For A Better World
Social variants that are negatively impacting cultural awareness, including racism/prejudice, will not be effectively harnessed or curtailed until we recognize its etiology from the past, to prevent it from manifesting in the present and continuing into the future. Our program is committed to providing an experiential, knowledge based, and a proactive approach in an effort to process the various aspects of cultural and/or race relations.
The operative word is relationships with others from various cultures, communities and families. The intrinsic factors that impact individuals, communities and the workplace will be discussed. Communication is the key to promote change and to gain a better understanding.
Positive communication will assist in resolving the social cultural issues of today.
The past and present polarization regarding culture and racial relations will persist as long as there is a national taboo restricting honest discussion of group similarities and differences.
My cousin, the patriarch of the Staple Singers, Roebuck “Pops” Staples, conveyed to me the importance of breaking down the walls which divide all people that is manifested by prejudice and racism. My father, along with Pops Staples, often shared their experiences about growing up in the segregated south with similar experiences in the north or “the promised land.”
I have taught Race and Ethnic Relations, Human Relations Training, and Diversity Training over the past 40 years. My associates and I are available to present lectures, workshops, or seminars related to culture, race, and ethnic relations.
Our team will address issues relating to culture and race relations in a positive manner. We are available to meet with businesses, organizations, communities and individuals. All presentations are experiential and are designed to promote positive relationships; not based on “blame and shame”. Our mission is to continue the principles of The Civil Rights Movement. This “Movement” must continue.
We need to educate ourselves, others, communities and families about laws, policies and actions that impact human rights, equality and justice.
Consider financial support to Race and Ethics to help carry out the mission.
Dr. Staples has been a vocal advocate for Civil Rights since his youth. With much of his influence stemming from his involvement in the Civil Rights Movement, Dr. Staples firmly believes in the importance of equal rights for all individuals.
