What if I make a mistake?′ you may be thinking. ‘Racism is a volatile issue, and I don’t want to say or do the wrong thing.’ In almost forty years of teaching and leading workshops about racism, I have made many mistakes. I have found that a sincere apology and a genuine desire to learn from one’s mistakes is usually rewarded with forgiveness. If we wait for perfection, we will never break the silence. The cycle of racism will continue uninterrupted.
