What is Mass Slavery Apology?
Mass
Slavery Apology's work for racial justice and healing grew from an
apology for slavery written by
three of our members, all
white,
with guidance from advisors of color. Since it was completed in 2009, we have
expanded our group and our focus.
Our main projects at
present:
- Educating others, especially
whites,
about racism and white privilege. In addition to this website and our
apology statement, we:
-
Speak in the western MA area about working for
racial justice, racism and white privilege, the Interfaith Pilgrimage of Middle
Passage, and other related topics.
We also facilitate around racism and white privilege – two barriers
to creating inclusive communities.
-
Describe our work and/or table at
events in the western MA area. We can bring part or all of
our engaging display addressing racism,
white privilege, and working for racial justice, as well as copies
of our apology statement and other handouts.
- Networking
and building collaborations with other antiracism activists through
events, this website, and our
email list.
- Seeking signatures for our
apology statement. The statement is a powerful voice for racial healing,
transformation, and education, and we invite people of European descent
to join us by adding their signatures.
