I am involved because I hope that no more 11-year-old girls hear horrific stories of child abuse and don’t know how to respond. I am involved because how can I not be?
Antiracism also honors the intent of King’s hope for his kids “not to be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character” by asking for people to see and value them by honoring the reality of their experience, heritage, history, and culture. Antiracism says “don’t judge us based on color” and allows them to exist by asking us to embrace their full humanity. That’s when they can truly be seen for who they are, all of who they are. And that’s the work of antiracism, and I think perfectly aligned with King’s goal.
