What I liked about what Sinkford said about racism

06.23.07 | Comment?

Acknowledging that some of our congregation’s buildings were built with slave trade money. Acknowledging that huge racial diversity just may not be in the cards for us, and that that can be okay if we do other good work. And this:

“Many of us thought we were going to solve racism and poverty,” said Sinkford, who is African American. “To come to terms with the unfinishedness of that work is almost acknowledging a failure for my generation.”

This kind of un-secreting goes a long way toward confronting how racism functions among Unitarians.
