Nancie McDermott is back with us this week to continue our talk about facing uncomfortable truths, how white ignorance serves evil, and how we need to shut up, listen and learn! Start by watching “Reconstruction: America After the Civil War” on your local PBS station.  https://www.pbs.org/show/reconstruction-america-after-civil-war/



Excerpted from Nancie’s Anti-Racism Facebook page:


“I'm Nancie McDermott, a white woman born and raised in North Carolina. I started this group as a place to look at how powerfully and stealthily racism and anti-Blackness are woven into our systems and institutions…We can move toward creating a place of justice and safety; of compassion and respect, of equity with opportunity for everyone. Knowing the truth can strengthen us to speak up, take action, examine our perspectives, and change things that seemed immovable. Silence means consent, so let's be loud and clear about where we are now, how we got here, where we want to go, and who we want to be: A nation of liberty and justice for all.”
