Why the Wounds of Racism Take So Long to Heal

PRESENTED BY From the Editors | Feb 9, 2018

9 MINS

Masud Olufani, an artist from Atlanta, and Maya Mansour, a model from Chicago, talk with Payam Zamani, Editor-in-chief at BahaiTeachings.org, about racism, immigration and why the wounds of racism take so long to heal. Their frank, challenging conversation cultivates a sense of urgency around healing the issues of race—not just as a theoretical supposition, but as a living, breathing reality we can all own.

Such a good discussion! Masud said that healing from racism takes courage. Yes! We can't be afraid of the discussions or the discomfort. Also, I loved that Maya challenged us to take a look at our own relationships and make sure we're getting to really know people of other races as individuals.
