Drawing on rich sociological insights, as well as experiences of family and friends and from her own life, Morrison asks: How does knowing our country\'s history make a difference in how we live today? How does Jesus\'s divine act of reconciliation on the cross lead to human liberation from oppression? How might we create systems for all to flourish? This honest, hope-filled book shows us how we can reform historically White spaces and create systems that work for the good of all.
Through story, historical context, and present realities, Morrison looks at what it means to recognize and confess the truth about inequities in the system (preparation), commit ourselves to changing the system (dedication), and move into true freedom as a society (liberation).
In Brown Faces, White Spaces, Latasha Morrison--a speaker, bridge builder, and champion for unity--explores nine aspects of American life where Systemic Racism still flourishes, including education, healthcare, the justice system, entertainment, and the church.
Yet God calls the church to stand firmly committed to racial reconciliation--and for each one of us to make choices that lead to healing.
Many of us feel overwhelmed by the problem, unsure how we can make a difference.
But the systems were never truly dismantled in our country, leaving artifacts of injustice that continue to affect every aspect of life for Black and Brown Americans.
