On Sept. 14, the Southern Delaware Alliance for Racial Justice hosted a town hall on being White in a multicultural society. Both Black and White panelists were aware of the greater struggles of Black people in our society and of White privilege and easier access. One of the most poignant comments made by a Black panelist was “I always have to be on the defensive” vis-à-vis her race, an experience none of the White panelists has ever had. Read the entire commentary here.
