“No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, background, or religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can learn to love.”
-Nelson Mandela
If you’ve ever said, “I’m not racist and I don’t know anyone racist,” you’re probably ignorant and need a lot of antiracism education. This is why we organized this webinar of insightful and wise individuals to have an honest dialogue on the “personal work of antiracism.” Dr. Sandy Sohee Kim is Professor of Ethnic Studies and founder of AAJIL (Asian American Justice Innovation Lab), Amber Height is a grad student and staff at Fuller Studios, Emily Bodet is a recent foster mom and member of Perch.Church, and Al Han is founding pastor of Perch.Church. Each panelist comes from different backgrounds and provides unique perspectives. We hold nothing back in this candid dialogue about antiracism... we discuss colonialism, commonalities and distinctions in racism towards dif’t BIPOC, and ways the Church has failed in the work of racial justice... because if we truly want to improve as a people of God, we need to be willing to criticize ourselves.
