Becoming Trustworthy White AlliesBecoming Trustworthy White Allies

"Becoming Trustworthy White Allies is a collection of articles, speeches, essays, and stories by anti-racist author and activist Melanie S. Morrison, reflecting on her decades of experience as an organizer. The book is the legacy of a life-long commitment to anti-racist equity work: from helping co-found the renowned Leaven Center, to establishing critical tools such as the "Doing Our Own Work" program, to launching a national network of social justice educators called Allies for Change. Speaking from her perspective as a White ally reckoning with her privilege and her own family history of enslaving, Morrison addresses how White people can move through places where they often get stuck so that they can step up with courage, humility, and consistency to participate in organizations led by Black, Indigenous, and other people of color, and help move other White people to greater antiracist awareness and action"-- Provided by publisher.
