  • Most whites live, grow, play, learn, love, work and die primarily in social and geographic racial segregation. Yet, our society does not teach us to see this as a loss.

  • I do atypical work for a white person, which is that I lead primarily white audiences in discussions on race every day, in workshops all over the country.
