Roots Deeper Than Whiteness: Remembering Who We Are for the Wellbeing of All
Quite often, white people engaging in anti-racism education can get stymied by feelings of shame, rootlessness, and political confusion. By sharing his own journey of ancestral recovery, David Dean offers those of us who are white a pathway toward something different — a rooted identity, based in a deeper understanding of our history, that can help us find the emotional, spiritual, and political grounding we need to offer ourselves as genuine partners in the transformation of this society.
In this session, you’ll discover:
- How our ancestors were socialized to become "white" by a ruling class intent on domination through racial division
- The cultural traditions that were lost during this process, and support for facing the vast harms it led many of our ancestors to commit
- A hidden yet unbroken legacy of multiracial resistance to this existing system that we can find belonging in and carry forward
