seeing white

This Table Talk is the conversation that we all want to have but few of us get around to ... it's challenging; fear-inducing; lots of resistance - but richly rewarding. In the longest (and maybe best) BWM podcast, Ken and Osahon welcome six of the table talk participants. They all share the powerful impact of the five weeks we spent together working through the fourteen episodes of SEEING WHITE, a podcast that traces the history of "whiteness" in America. You'll hear from Kahlmus, Megan, Margaret, Zak, Cathy, and Jay with insightful commentary by Osahon. You'll hear much about one in our group named "James." You can find my conversation with James Ross here. Our conclusion: we all experienced what Martin Luther King called, "the Beloved Community." SHOW NOTES

He reflects on his growing up years in South Central LA, then off to UCSB and UCLA and on to credentials for secondary education and administration and his insight as a communicator and instructor in reconciliation. Ken met James through his Table Talks on Seeing White (Scene on Radio) - a five-week online course through the history and impact of whiteness in America. SHOW NOTES
