Commitment is required for the work of dismantling white supremacy.

How is today's uprising going to be different from those in the past?

For change to occur, this work is a long game.

Curiosity, love, and commitment, three skills that are necessary that we white folks need to address systemic bias and for dismantling white supremacy.
