Stumbling Toward Anti-Racism One Friend at a Time:  A Memoir

If you’re White, like me, chances are good that you have no friends of color. According to a recent PRRI (Public Religion Research Institute) study, White American’s friendship networks are 90% White, on average. Two-thirds of White people list only white people as friends. An all-White friendship network was my story from childhood until early adulthood.

I didn’t like those odds, and decided to change what my life handed me. Starting from scratch (I grew up in a completely White community which was hostile to Black people) I came to understand that I had to learn that racism/ white supremacy was a big problem.  I needed to learn the history my own experiences, that of my community and nation as a first step. And I needed to step out to make friends, real friends, who were different than me.

My book shows what I did to change my life, but not only that. I want the reader to understand my successes—and mistakes—and how I persisted despite myself.

Join me on a journey that changed me in ways I could never have imagined, above all to discover myself anew.
