I found this article essential for me to understand what white privilege meant - and means. It was also helpful because it helped me begin to find points of change within myself. So, here's where I think people like myself who wish to be allies and act as allies need to start. Let's read this article. http://occupywallstreet.net/story/explaining-white-privilege-broke-white-person and then let's read Gene Leun Yang's: http://geneyang.com/the-reading-without-walls-challenge and begin to talk about actions we should and need to be taking as writers and creative people. I'm going to the bookstore this week and picking up books by diverse authors - I'll let you know which ones I grabbed.
Tell me what you're thinking about doing? What author are you buying this week?
