Anti Racism for Lent.
Day 16.
Look for and listen to expert voices that are people of color.
If you’ve found yourself seeking out information about racial justice, are you looking at where that information is coming from?
How often do you read the names of the author of that article you’re reading? Do you google them and find that the ‘race expert’ writing this article is perhaps a well educated, (privileged,) middle aged white man? Do you go look for an alternative article from a person of color to give you a more balanced perspective?
Recognize that when we only read and share articles and books written by white people, we’re not helping.
Look for those experts.
They do exist, their voices are amazing, and they’re easy to find if you’re willing to look.
