“It was incredibly enriching and informational for me. It gave me new talking points and I saw many new perspectives and opinions. I thought Elliott & Charlie balanced each other out so well and were amazing facilitators. I have “borrowed” much of the content and am working through the myths with our church community group this summer, but missing the pro facilitators! it is definitely not an easy job!”

“This work was pivotal in my progress in having courageous conversations, strengthening my abilities to discuss these topics with others, and building my confidence in talking about race and topics around race. I also really enjoyed hearing from parents about their perspectives on race and this work.”

“It made me think on a deeper level about racism in my thoughts. It gave me more practice on how to discuss racism with friends or family”

“The 10 Myths program had an impact on me both personally and professionally. Personally, I learned a lot about myself and I had to dig a little deeper than I wanted to on some things. Professionally, it made me look at myself and how I handle certain situations with students and co-workers. It was a great program! ”

“The first episode in this podcast is a great explanation of the role of official, legal commemoration in reconstructing and maintaining white supremacy after the civil war.”

“This podcast needs to be a mandatory lesson to those who question the way African Americans have been treated in this country throughout history. Rev. Robinson brings a much-needed message of truth and understanding to how we can learn from our past in order to improve our future. I most highly recommend this podcast and look forward to tuning in again and again in order to continue to Create Tension.”

“Creative Tension offers an engaging walk through the Jim Crow past to dissect the dialogue happening today. The first two episodes offer incredible context into the new narrative and justification for the Confederacy and its monuments. While the voices and explanations can be chilling, I now have an even greater understanding of the nuanced and subtle bigotry that still exists. My daughters will benefit from this and I encourage others to share with their children, too. If this is just the beginning, I can wait for what topics Rev Elliott will tackle next.”
