Peace On Podcast by The Peace Alliance
Society & Culture
Christine Elliot, a long-time friend and supporter of the Peace Alliance, shared a story about her personal journey of waking up to her whiteness. Growing up in Canada where everyone was white, she was taught to be color-blind, to live by the golden rule and treat others as she would like to be treated. Moving to the United States and meeting her husband, who had been an activist focused on social justice and world events, she began a learning journey. Campaigning for Obama in 2008, they went to five states to go door to door, and met a beautiful black woman who, seeing their Obama t-shirts and buttons, came out of her home to hug Christine, saying ‘if he wins, we won’t have to be separated anymore.’ This was the beginning of a deeper path led by the minister at her church in San Diego first with black congregants, and then with white ones of which Christine was one, of education about the truth about racism in America. The Anti-Racism Institute that was born out of that exploration, and Christine is fully engaged as a member of the Board, sharing this education with others who want to understand, and who want to help make the changes needed. How can we begin to be comfortable being uncomfortable, as we learn and grow together?
