Becoming Trustworthy White Allies

In <i>Becoming Trustworthy White Allies</i> longtime antiracist facilitator Melanie S. Morrison outlines the actions white people must undertake to become partners in the work of racial justice. In this collection of essays lectures and real-life stories Morrison addresses how white people can navigate the obstacles to becoming an ally so that they can step up with courage humility and consistency to participate in BIPOC-led organizations while helping move other white people to greater antiracist awareness and action. Morrison describes the required steps toward allyship: moving through shame and guilt nurturing truth-telling relationships of support and accountability challenging practices and policies that protect white privilege moving out of social segregation working from a place of self-love and staying on the antiracist journey. Now as always it is imperative that white people commit to doing the deep work and learning required to become lifelong trustworthy allies.
