In this spiritual memoir, a white woman in an interracial marriage
and mixed-race family paints a beautiful path from white privilege
toward racial healing, from ignorance toward seeing the image of
God in everyone she meets. Author and speaker Cara Meredith grew up
in a colorless world. From childhood, she didn't think issues of
race had anything to do with her, and she was ignorant of many of
the racial realities (including individual and systemic racism) in
America today. A colorblind rhetoric had been stamped across her
education, world view, and Christian theology. Then as an adult,
Cara's life took on new, colorful hues. She realized that white
people in her generation, seeking to move beyond ancestral racism,
had swung so far in believing a colorblind rhetoric that they tried
to act as if they didn't see race at all. When Cara met and fell in
love with the son of black icon, James Meredith, the power of love
helped her see color. She began to notice the shades of life
already present in the world around her, while also learning to
listen in new ways to black voices of the past. After she married
and their little family grew to include two mixed-race sons, Cara
knew she would never see the world through a colorless lens again.
Cara Meredith's journey will serve as an invitation into
conversations of justice, race, and privilege, asking key
questions, such as: What does it mean to navigate ongoing and
desperately needed conversations of race and justice? What does it
mean for white people to listen and learn from the realities our
black and brown brothers and sisters face every day? What does it
mean to teach the next generation a theology of justice,
reconciliation, and love? What does it mean to dig into the stories
of our past, both historically and theologically, to see the imago
Dei in everyone? Plus, Cara offers an extensive Notes and
Recommended Reading section at the end of the book, so you can
continue learning, listening, and engaging in this important
conversation.
