A willingness to explore & learn is how we grow. “Ten Myths White People Believe About Racism”, adapted from Carolyn B. Helsel's book Preaching About Racism: A Guide for Faith Leaders, published by Chalice Press, gives us a chance to explore, reflect, & grow.

Wondering what “white supremacy culture” is? Find out in “The Characteristics of White Supremacy Culture” by Kenneth Jones & Tema Okun published in 2001. Read & reflect on the characteristics that show up in our congregation (& other organizations in your life): showingupforracialjustice.org/white-supremacy-culture-characteristics.html
Can you identify the many aspects of White Privilege? In 1989, Peggy McIntosh published “White Privilege: Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack.” She identifies 50 unearned privileges non-POC (non-People of Color) receive in our society that POC cannot claim. No better time to read it than now! https://www.racialequitytools.org/resourcefiles/mcintosh.pdf
This journey is individual & congregation-wide. We'll be suggesting resources you can view, read, or listen to on your own; reflect upon; & discuss with others if you like. We'll begin with a short video "Systemic Racism Explained".
More than 45 folks gathered this week to watch Rev. Marta Valentin’s powerful sermon “It is Time Now” presented at the UUA General Assembly Sunday worship service in June. It’s not to be missed! Marta was with us last December & is responsible for our History Wall on display in the Meeting House. She’ll be preaching a new sermon at Hillcrest this Sunday. Watch at home on your own at, the sermon starts at 35:47 but the entire service wonderful. https://www.uua.org/ga/offsite/2019/worship/sunday
