We Stories
Change begins when We Stories challenges White families to re-think race and their role in our segregated region. Change takes hold when new habits become normal and are passed down to the next generation. Change amplifies when families connect with each other, galvanizing communities that didn’t exist before. Change gains traction when these families use their new awareness and skills to take action, generating new support for change-making efforts.

This site offers tools, research, tips, curricula and ideas for people who want to increase their own understanding and to help those working toward justice at every level – in systems, organizations, communities and the culture at large.

It’s a fact: racism continues to shape lives in the 21st century. It is part of our history as a community and a nation. Understanding racism – its construction, its impact, and our respective roles in dismantling it – engages us to create a different world, one without racism.
