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

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
When Alison Aguilar Lopez Gutierrez McLeod was asked to write the story of her experiences as a professional of color by the Commission on Institutional Change at the UUA, she discovered it wasn't a simple matter of putting pen to paper and writing about a particular incident. She found herself writing and drawing out numerous storyboards, each one more detailed than the last. "This is an art show," she finally decided. When she told Rev. Kathleen Owens at First UU Church of San Diego about her work, Rev. Owens asked her to consider mounting the exhibit in at First Church in Bard Hall. It fit in with the First UU's ongoing mission to become more aware of the microaggressions and macroaggressions people of color experience in our congregation and in our faith. Alison decided to use the storyboards and some art pieces to create a show sharing her experience of racism within her job as a religious educator and within UUism.
