Résumé

In order to work for social justice, we must first be able to see through the eyes of other folks including our enemies.

1
00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:02.912
A first thing that's very
important, to work for

2
00:00:02.937 --> 00:00:07.715
social justice, is be able to see
through the eyes of other folks

3
00:00:07.740 --> 00:00:10.084
and you can only do
that through listening,

4
00:00:10.109 --> 00:00:12.278
through observing, through
building relationships.

5
00:00:12.303 --> 00:00:14.889
Now King took that
even a bit further

6
00:00:14.914 --> 00:00:18.583
and said we need to learn to
see how our enemy sees us,

7
00:00:18.608 --> 00:00:21.262
how the oppressor sees that.

8
00:00:21.334 --> 00:00:24.750
Another person that I looked
at was Rigoberto Menchu

9
00:00:24.775 --> 00:00:30.119
from Guatemala, and she even
learned Spanish to be able to

10
00:00:30.167 --> 00:00:34.124
have that ability to see through the
eyes of the one who's oppressing you.

11
00:00:34.147 --> 00:00:38.403
But it also humanizes even the enemy

12
00:00:38.428 --> 00:00:41.424
or the oppressor because
to do the awful things

13
00:00:41.449 --> 00:00:44.505
that oppressors often do
or order done,

14
00:00:44.530 --> 00:00:47.224
they have dehumanized themselves

15
00:00:47.249 --> 00:00:51.861
at the same time as their dehumanizing
others. We also need to try to

16
00:00:51.886 --> 00:00:54.317
transform the enemies as well.

17
00:00:54.342 --> 00:00:56.857
Martin Luther King would often say that

18
00:00:56.882 --> 00:00:59.111
out of his enemy he
wanted to make a friend.
