Say It Louder
A Resource for Community, Conversations and Change
Black in a White World
"The Psychosis of Whiteness is a documentary film that sheds light on society's perceptions of race and racism by exploring cinematic representations of the slave trade... Rather than blaming the powerful institutions that are responsible for slavery, these films rewrite history by praising those same institutions for abolishing the slave trade."
The experiences on this here are only snapshots, but hopefully enough to spark your curiosity! A longer list of topics can be find within the Say It Louder Handbook .

"By expanding our understanding of who the courageous were, it suggests who will lead us today: welfare moms, high school students, and church ladies, rural and urban, men and women, teenagers to octogenarians. This more beautiful and terrible history asks us to see our past differently and our future anew — a history for a better world."
