So much food for thought in this one.

Brown: “We live as if we are afraid acknowledging the injustices of the past will tighten the chains rather than break them.”

An amazing account of a black woman’s life and experiences. This is such a good dive into how white people are/can be when dealing with race and racism and how that affects black folks, particularly within the framework of American society/institutions. I feel like everybody (at least white people) should give this a listen/read. Any discomfort felt is important. 

There is a lot about Christianity and how all that fits into this, which I’m not religious, but I think a lot of Christians could learn a lot from this.
