Racism has played a major role in shaping the Baltimore we see today. Racism is synonymous with white supremacy; without the concept of whiteness and delineation thereof, racism would not exist. The concept Race was created to justify the oppression of non-white people, which you can hear more about in the series Seeing White by Scene on Radio. And now, the church has begun to admit that racism is a sin.

Entire libraries of work have been written by Black people on the topic of racism, but white people tend to be awkward or silent about it, despite being the creators and perpetrators of racism. Recognizing and confronting the realities of the atrocities white people have committed in Baltimore is the first step to being able to make reparations and heal from it.

Slate Project is trying to do something new by asking, “What if we had a clean slate?” “What would we challenge for not working?” “How could we connect with our sacred history?”
