The brutal murder of Black American George Floyd at the hands of white police officers on May 25, 2020 began a worldwide protest against systemic racism. This is an unprecedented opportunity for both black and white people to come together and work toward promoting civil liberties and equal rights for people of color. In this episode, Leona and Matthew discuss ways in which white people can make specific contributions to help heal the painful divide which has separated us from one another for so long.
The discussion includes becoming aware of dogwhistle politics, micro-aggressions, and ways to take political action in strong, healthy and nonviolent ways.
