“We have to do far more than talk about racism, but the work of transformation must engage conversation. Transformation cannot take place in a vacuum, but it can emerge even from relationships that are complicated and painful. And even situations that are disturbing and appear mostly negative can result in change, sometimes almost without being noticed. This is a good enough reason to work at finding the courage to stay in conversation with ourselves and others around race and its many challenging threads.” — Catherine Meeks, The Night is Long but Light Comes in the Morning
