Reflecting on white privilege and peaceful protest

Like many parts of the country, Reading held a peaceful protest against police brutality and a Rally for Racial Justice program to call out the death of George Floyd and so many others. As a white person, I reflected on my place at this Rally and in social justice work. I work to acknowledge the privileges my skin color affords me. Though the Rally wasn't a source of "peace" during the pandemic, it brought some tiny relieft to be doing SOMETHING. So to remind myself, my t-shirt can only be read by looking in the mirror, as a way to remind MYSELF, "Understanding White Privilege is an Ongoing Process. Keep Studying."
