“I am from here”

-A film by Bess O’brien

“I am from here,” a 30-minute instructional film directed and produced by Bess O’Brien, serves as one component of Vermont-NEA’s virtual toolkit, Advancing Racial Equity in Vermont’s Public Schools. It is important that anyone working with Vermont students understand the experiences of Vermonters of color as they navigate through the public education system.

Root Social Justice Center: I Am Vermont Too

Lean more about initiatives at The Root Social Justice Center

““I Am Vermont Too” began in March of 2014. Modeled after the I Too, Am Harvard initiative, the I Am Vermont Too photo-story project shines a light on the diversity of identities and experiences of People of Color all across the State of Vermont. It looks to provide an opportunity for reflection and dialogue for majority-white communities who may be unaware of their participation in perpetuating racial stereotypes and harming People of Color.
