Thanks for posting my comment in this fashion. I have read and re-read everyone's comments again and again. There are many point of insight and inspiration. I would love to get feedback on the following:
1. I am also concerned about "latent" or "future" harm that may be caused that I cannot see or am unwilling to see. Any additional thoughts are welcomed.
2. I want to move participants from "I am lucky to be born in this country" reaction to the Two Dollar Challenge to "I want to invest in changing the system of oppression" Toward that end, we discuss the following readings (and others): a. Ivan Illich "To Hell With Good Intentions" b. "Barefoot in Church" c. "Narrative Humility"
We also do a privilege walk. Any additional readings, exercises that you have found effective please pass along?
Thanks for welcoming me into your community
