I hate to admit this, but the truth is… For most of my life, I never participated in anything to celebrate Black History Month. Now don’t get me wrong, I always thought it was nice to have a month that honored Black history, but I just didn’t really understand why it was important for white people to participate in honoring/celebrating it. I just thought it was a time for Black people to celebrate their heritage and culture together. Now I feel so silly thinking that! Silly and… well… ignorant. I hate using the term “ignorant” because it sounds so harsh, but that is the correct term. I was un-educated about it all, and only in recent years have I started understanding how important it is to educate myself. Important for me as a white person and even more importantly, as a Christian person.
Love this! It so important for White individuals who are doing the work to share their journey with others...to help guide the way. And I LOVE that your church is willing to host a book club where they can opening have conversations around racism & antiracism work. The big C church can not stay silent anymore. Thank you for including me in accts to follow. It’s an honor to be in such incredible company.
