"Dr. DiAngelo was amazing! She was such a treat for the CHS staff. She left us wanting more, recognizing that we have work to do, and that we will continue the conversation."

-(SIUE) East Saint Louis Charter High School

"Dr. DiAngelo's presentation was engaging and well done. Dr. DiAngelo spent some time with us prior to the keynote to ask specific questions of who may be in attendance and how her discussion would be received. We had extremely positive feedback from the majority of our participants... Overall, an excellent morning of professional development that continues an important conversation on our campus."

-Cabrillo College

"Sensoy & DiAngelo’s book sings with insight, clarity and humanity. This is a brilliant primer to help us consider what it means to think critically and to act for justice."

-Bill Bigelow "Rethinking Schools" magazine

"Rarely will one find an analysis of racism that is as comprehensive as this one. From incisive and wide-ranging critiques of how white folks deflect, deny, and evade the topic of racism, and the implications of our own racial identity and position, to an absolutely on-point interrogation of how racism and whiteness influence the larger educational process, Robin DiAngelo demonstrates the kind of clarity of thought so needed on this important subject."

-Tim Wise

"White Fragility is a vital, necessary and beautiful book, a bracing call to white folk everywhere to see their whiteness for what it is and to seize the opportunity to make things better now. DiAngelo joins the front ranks of white anti-racist thinkers with a stirring call to conscience, and most important, consciousness, in her white brothers. White fragility is a truly generative idea… an idea whose time has come."

-Michael Eric Dyson
