LENT. Day 16.

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.

Edited to add:
If you’re not sure where to start, I suggest checking out ColorLines.

From their website: “Color Lines is a daily news site where race matters, featuring award-winning in-depth reporting, news analysis, opinion and curation. Color Lines is published by Race Forward, a national organization that advances racial justice through research, media and practice.”
