Undoing Racism Workshop Evaluation•Follow-Up Focus Groups Themes
Growth in knowledge“And I think that when I, before I went into the training, when I thought about institutional racism, I never thought about public health and MDCH and it potentially contributing to that.”

Undoing Racism Workshop Evaluation•Follow-Up Focus Groups Themes
Reflecting on personal experiences and beliefs
“…they asked “Are you privileged to be a white person?” And a lot of us white people got a little angry, ‘oh no I’m not privileged. I grew up poor.’…Then after a while you really had to say yes…as a white person you are probably more privileged than some.”

Undoing Racism Workshop Evaluation•Follow-Up Focus Groups Themes
Frustration with Facilitation“She explained that because I’m white I have privilege and because I have privilege that makes me racist. And I was extremely offended by that…”
“But then my question to her was, “Ok, how can I take this back? Make it practical for me. How can I take this back to my job? What are some of the things I can do?”
