“What Justice Looks Like in White Spaces?”
YouTube only at 10:30am
Join Reverend Rebecca and Edward Carson as we continue our monthly theme of Unitarian Universalism. This week we focus on the role of white allyship in our commitment to creating the beloved community. Eddie will be preaching and challenging us to look for real answers we can live into and support through our actions and our faith. Edward Carson is the Dean of Multicultural Education at The Governor’s Academy. We are delighted to welcome him back to our pulpit.
But there is no neutrality in the racism struggle. The opposite of “racist” isn’t “not racist.” It is “antiracist.”
-Ibram X. Kendi
