This hour, we talk with three local friends who share some of the difficult and productive conversations they’ve had about race. A white local racial justice advocate says she’s had humbling discussions with African American friends about the impact of social media posts made by white allies like herself. She says she didn’t realize how certain images or content can be traumatizing, and it’s important for white people to listen and not shy away from uncomfortable conversations.
We dive into those conversations with our guests:
- Johnita Anthony, Brighton resident
- Norman Simmons, Rochester resident
- Megan Clifford, Brighton resident
