 We talk about why Black History Month is a sign of "white privilege", what do white people call themselves if they're learning to be anti-racist and why slavery is closer than we think. This is the last in the series of Black Lives Matter, #BLM with our guest, Alesia Graves.

What does it take to begin the healing process between whites and blacks in America? It starts with talking about slavery and acknowledging the truth of slavery. Yes, it's hard to talk about and it would've been hard to live it. Whites can begin by speaking that truth and much more as we continue our talk about racism and #Black Lives Matter.

We continue our discussion of Black Lives Matter with Alesia Graves in this episode. Why is it that many white people are afraid of the BLM movement? Alesia addresses this from her perspective as a black woman.
