Many of my White friends admitted that if it weren’t for the group, they might have ignored the context or dismissed the events of Ferguson. Attending the monthly circles ensured they wouldn’t remain silent, wouldn’t be complicit. As they became aware of racial injustice and the history of discrimination, it became impossible for them to turn a blind eye.
Though grieved that I did not join this cause earlier, I feel as if the recent events have woken me up to this reality, and I can no longer be silent or passive.
