Perceptions of Racial Issues: What it Means to be White

From Diane Goodman

Recent events and research continue to show that white people and people of color have different experiences and perceptions of racial issues and racism in the US.

Increasingly, attention is being paid to the role of white people in both perpetuating and eliminating racial inequality. These workshops at the Fellowship of Reconciliation in Nyack are particularly intended to encourage white people to:

1) consider how being white shapes our perspectives and experiences

2) enhance our interracial relationships

3) increase our ability to foster racial equity in our organizations and communities.
