Our nation has reached a crossroad concerning racism and has started in a new direction. The history of America will reflect a coming-to-terms with long-standing, unequal treatment of people. Inequity and injustice have fragmented people’s relationships with one another. We must not go backward into denial, but instead must go forward into healing by championing the inherent dignity of all people. Awareness of the past coupled with action in the present will guide us in building new patterns of community life based on equality and fairness.
