The presentation that Erik Albinson gave was really intersting. The pictures he showed were really shocking, and it's amazing to see that there are people out there who are so closed minded. I think a good thing to take out of the presentation is to be open minded to anything, and don't fear the unknown.

Erik shared a story about how he became friends with someone while he was an RA at college, and his friend had never been friends with anyone from a different race. I think that is a great example of stepping out of your comfort zone to learn more about the world and about other cultures.

I really enjoyed Erik's presentation. I found the messages of the white supremacists to be shocking. I honestly thought that the KKK was a thing of the past. It was eye-opening to realize that they are still around and actively recruiting members. In a day and age where we consider ourselves to a racially integrated and welcoming society, it was appalling to realize that people are racist. I was inspired to see what I could do to help improve this situation.
