The New York Times bestselling author of Be the Bridge calls people of faith to be a part of lasting change and help heal the racial disparity in our countrytogether.
A journey that encourages us to love our neighbors in real time as we understand the history that has shaped us.Terence Lester, PhD, founder of Love Beyond Walls
We might think of systemic racism as an unfortunate part of American history, something that happened back in the day. But the systems were never truly dismantled in our country, leaving artifacts of injustice that continue to affect every aspect of life for Black and Brown Americans.
Many of us feel overwhelmed by the problem, unsure how we can make a difference. Yet God calls the church to stand firmly committed to racial reconciliationand for each one of us to make choices that lead to healing.
In Brown Faces, White Spaces, Latasha Morrisona speaker, bridge builder, and champion for unityexplores nine aspects of American life where systemic racism still flourishes, including education, healthcare, the justice system, entertainment, and the church. Through story, historical context, and present realities, Morrison looks at what it means to recognize and confess the truth about inequities in the system (preparation), commit ourselves to changing the system (dedication), and move into true freedom as a society (liberation).
Drawing on rich sociological insights, as well as experiences of family and friends and from her own life, Morrison asks: How does knowing our countrys history make a difference in how we live today? How does Jesuss divine act of reconciliation on the cross lead to human liberation from oppression? How might we create systems for all to flourish?
This honest, hope-filled book shows us how we can reform historically white spaces and create systems that work for the good of all. Join the bridge-building movement that is listening, learning, and working together for equity in every aspect of our lives.
Includes questions for personal reflection and group discussion.
