The Way of ColorInsight: Understanding Race and Law Effectively
Through Mindfulness-Based ColorInsight Practices
(Georgetown Law Journal of Modern Critical Race Perspectives, Spring 2016)
By Rhonda V. Magee
Introduction
Despite much good effort to the contrary, reports from a wide variety of fields and locations serve daily to remind us that race still matters in America. To many legal scholars,these reports are not only not news but they suggest work that must be done within the legal academy to minimize racial bias within contemporary law. For example, in his groundbreaking Article, Trojan Horses of Race, Jerry Kang highlighted the research identifying and confirming
implicit bias as a pervasive cognitive, interpersonal dynamic, and placed on the research agenda that should follow this revelation scholarship by law professors examining “teaching strategies,”
as well as “debiasing programs, and [educational] environments.”
Jake Sloan WISR Alumni April 22, 2018 at Global Hero Round Table in San Francisco
Jake Sloan, one of the youngest of the original 21ers had only begun working as a pipefitter helper in July 1960. Sloan had dropped out of the 10th grade in Richmond and joined the 21ers in his excitement over the Civil Rights movement. Older members didn’t want him to jeopardize his career, but Sloan joined anyway.
After working at the shipyard for almost five years, he returned to school, eventually earning a master’s degree in history at San Francisco State University pursuing a Doctorate in Education at WISR, Berkeley.
After a teaching stint, Sloan opened Oakland-based Davillier Sloan Inc., the state’s largest labor compliance company. His company develops equal opportunity programs for minorities and women in the construction business.
