This article offers a pedagogical response to the growing demand that institutions of higher education must contend with their racial pasts. Drawing upon concepts from the literature on collective memory, students work with institutional archives that showcase localized examples of racial injustice. Students are then asked to imagine potential options for the collective redress of these institutional racial pasts. This activity provides a chance for students to consider how racial histories are preserved and told, and to suggest solutions for changing that story. Moreover, through engaging in this activity, students are encouraged to see their campus environments within the context of contemporary understandings of institutional racism.

对于高等教育机构必须应对其种族历史的日益增长的需求，本文提供了一种教学回应。利用集体记忆文献中的概念，学生与展示种族不公正的本地化例子的机构档案一起工作。然后要求学生想象集体纠正这些制度性种族过去的潜在选择。这项活动为学生提供了一个机会，让他们考虑如何保存和讲述种族历史，并提出改变这个故事的解决方案。此外，通过参与这项活动，鼓励学生在对制度种族主义的当代理解的背景下看待他们的校园环境。
