White privilege and racism aren’t illusions or evils of the past. To my white neighbors: If Jane Elliott said the following to you, would you stand? “If you, as a White person, would like to be treated the way Black people are in this society, stand."

We have an amazing $5 million challenge grant. Please give if you are able. The Kansas City region will get through this together! #Fund4KC #KCTogether #KCResponds #KCStrong
