​Understanding racism and White supremacy starts with a question that White people need to ask themselves. People of Color need to ask themselves this question also but that subject will be discussed in another chapter. The question is how do you know what you know about who you are. We are all told who we are by the external forces around us. This question should create an existential crisis point. It is a fact that our identities are shaped by the people around us who tell us who we are. It starts with parents and grandparents. It moves on to other caregivers and school teachers, pastors or religious leaders who tell us who we are.

​However you fill in that blank, the reality of structural and systemic racism in our country has been woven clearly throughout. It can’t be denied.

In the midst of it all Roots of Justice has shown up and pivoted by…

• Developing the Racism is Real video series.
• Moving our analysis training to a virtual format in order to continue trainings.
• Forming smaller focused workshops.
• Creating an executive coaching program to help leaders transform their orgs.

Thanks to you, our loyal supporters for all the ways you show up for us. ROJ is a small operation and we rely on you, our Family. Will you support our mission of equipping institutions to dismantle racism with a financial gift?

​In Peace and Solidarity,

​The Roots of Justice Team

The Roots of Justice White male trainers and friend, Tobin Miller Shearer, had conversation about the intersections of privilege. Watch it here or over at Facebook.

​One viewer, a woman of color, didn’t think she would watch because “no one wants to hear a bunch of clueless, arrogant white men talk about race.” But she did watch, and she had never heard white men show up that way, especially in talks about race: “What made the talk special was that the white men displayed vulnerability, sensitivity, and honesty.”
