who care about African American adolescent females and their  
health,Charinetta "Chi" Ellis and Margaret Dexheimer Pharris, College  
of St. Catherine, St. Paul MN,  62 pages, 2007.



This guide contains instructions on how to design and conduct forums  
that help teens to understand the dynamics of racism and how not to  
internalize it.
The curriculum in this dialogue guide was created to help African  
American young women identify and understand the different types of  
racism (internalized, personally-mediated, and systemic/ 
institutionalized), as well as develop coping mechanisms so that  
racism is not internalized.  The forum curriculum draws on exercises,  
information, and handouts from various people and publications, which  
are referenced throughout this document.

Two DVDs are provide to accompany the Curriculum Guide:  DVD I  
contains "The History of Racism for African Americans" by Shvonne  
Johnson.  DVD II includes "Healthy Coping Mechanisms for Not  
Internalizing Racism" by LaVonne Moore, "Spoken Word" by Shvonne  
Johnson, "Celi Dean, Miss Black USA 2005," and "Anti-Racism Ambassador  
Graduation Introduction" by Charlnitta "Chi" Ellis.
