“I love his voice, value his perspective, learn from his sharing. I’m a middle-class white woman and nurse who grew up in the Appalachian region of the US. My father is racist. I never was racist, but lacked exposure, and the unknowns defaulted to fear every time I encountered black culture. Today, thanks to Trymaine Lee and others who were willing to share about the journey of being black in America, I don’t default to fear and feel deep respect. I can do my part to acknowledge the truth and commit to teaching my grandson to be more open to, respectful of and grateful for diversity. Thank you, “Into America”, for being a regular part of my unfolding learning.”
