Day 34

First workshop of the day at the White Privilege Conference here in Minnesota. I arrived here late last night and will be here through Saturday. The workshop was called "The Wall: Understanding and Dismantling Our Barriers to Cross-Difference Relationships" and led by this guy Jamie Utt, you can check out his blog at http://changefromwithin.org/. In the workshop we "deconstructed the role of prejudice, bigotry, and hate in our relationships," and were "empowered to reflect on our own experience with race and its intersection with religion, gender, sexual orientation, and class."
