A couple years ago, I started a devotional series at the Durham Baha’i Center titled Uprooting Racism through Discourse and Spiritual Healing. Over the years, participants have requested audio or video recordings of the presentations. With our shift to virtual meetings during the covid-19 pandemic, it has become easier to video record sessions, thus allowing me to make them accessible to those interested.
In this series, we explore different concepts related to white supremacy in order to better understand the violent historical legacy of white supremacy and white racial ideology and its devastating effects manifested through racism and racial discrimination. We come together with the understanding that white supremacy is a spiritual, material, and psychological disease and racism its symptom.
This series focuses on racial healing situated within a historical context. It is also a space dedicated to racial discourse relevant to the theme of the day.
