Sometimes we can get uncomfortably reminded that we know less than we think. Or that our stories are not as accurate as we once believed. For me, the story was that I was a quiet but dedicated supporter of equality and racial justice. One night a few years back, a woman asked a simple question that opened my eyes to how little I knew. A bit of discomfort can be a helpful reminder of where we need to grow. 

In this episode of the Changemakers Field Guide, I continue a series on dealing with people – looking at the history of civil rights in America, with lessons on how NOT to treat people. Righting wrongs always involves acknowledging there’s a problem. Listening to the stories and experiences of Black people is a critical step in living up to our ideals of justice.
