[Durham INC] New from the Rev-elution - Jeanne Lucas

[Melissa Rooney]

All great suggestions with regard to increasing my understanding of the situation.
But I ask again...what can we do...right here, right now, to start moving toward equity?

What game rules need to be changed? What new rules need to be implemented?

Until we can get to some specific solutions, this problem of race will be a revolving door that never fully closes.

I, for one, may eventually choose to join my AA acquaintance in Australia on a full time basis in order to escape the everlasting racial tensions in this county, and indeed this country...but that kind of international move will have to wait for many, many more years.

Melissa

Since you asked, Melissa, I personally recommend supporting the Pauli Murray Project and attending their events here in Durham. They continue to provide a variety of spaces to discuss race, its past and present roles in Durham, and finding ways to learn and grow in community. (And reading Pauli Murray's books, especially Proud Shoes!)

I have one suggestion for those of the dominant culture to understand what Carl is saying: Read "Race Matters" by Dr. Cornel West--then you will begin to undertand.
