.@DrDanKerr notes the vested interests in sustaining various inequalities, etc. writing a great book isn't transformative #s27 #ncph2015

— kristen baldwin deathridge (@k10death) April 17, 2015

@DrDanKerr : There are systemic interests in sustaining inequality. You cannot convince those interests by writing a book. #ncph2015 #s27

— Amelia T. Grabowski (@AmeliaTGrabow) April 17, 2015

@DrDanKerr: There are vested interests who want to perpetuate structural inequalities. Writing books is not enough. #s27 #ncph2015

@cathystanton knows that sometimes things we work on are antithetical to our values #ncph2015 #s27

Attendee suggests we can collect politically with more recent history, but not ancient history. Thoughts? #ncph2015 #s27

Aud comment: a coin does have three sides; it's just that few people recognize that third one #s27 #ncph2015

Audience comment– even coins have 3 sides. The 3rd side just doesn't get much support! #ncph2015 #s27

— Adina Langer (@artiflection) April 17, 2015

A coin does have 3 sides, but third side needs a lot of support–audience member #ncph2015 #s27

In my own work, being "apolitical" usually means supporting status quo values like white supremacy, patriarchy #ncph2015 #s27

Panelists point out how important it is to have mentors / to mentor in order to nurture turning justice thinking into action #ncph2015 #s27

@DrDanKerr " have committment to people not necessarily their ethics, we each have our own ethics" #s27 #ncph2015
