RESOURCESMari Park, Rocking This Baby (rockingthisbaby@gmail.com)"When Minneapolis Segregated" (article on redlining and racial housing covenants)SHOW NOTES“For most people, I or my siblings-our family-were the first blacks that they’ve ever actually befriended or come in contact with, or had a relationship with. So there were a lot of questions. There may be a lot of ignorance because of the perception that society puts out there. The narrative that is out there about blacks can make our peers even feel uncomfortable.” -Jeanette“That was very challenging for us to constantly be on display, or being asked to speak for the entire race...People are individuals. I can say what I think, but I am not in any position to speak for an entire race. There was a lot of weight on our shoulders being the only blacks in our circles.” -Jeanette“How do we help our children understand the value of all races, all colors of skin, and see the unique image of God in people? Because I think it can be easy to think, ‘I’m not racist. I value all people, all cultures.’ But when our context is pretty monotone in color, we just aren’t even aware sometimes of what we don’t know. And we can find ourselves feeling uncomfortable by things that are different than what we are familiar with.” -Christy“As mothers we need to start having crucial conversations with our children, and that can start right at the dinner table when families are together, bringing up these conversations so that as they grow it doesn’t become uncomfortable...Let’s start showing them the beauty of all cultures.” -Jeanette“You’re only gonna grow and build from learning these cultures, so I think we need as mothers to just kind of embrace them so that they (our kids) don’t fear what they don’t understand.” -Jeanette“It creates a world for us to live in where it requires such intentionality on our parts to not live out of a different narrative, but to choose kindness, to choose love, to choose patience, to be willing to hear the whole story; to be slow to speak, quick to love.” -Christy“When they’re (kids) that age, that’s when you’re starting to shape who you want to be...but if you don’t see people who look like you in those professions, then your dreams get shut even more because you don’t believe that you can get there. Part of believing is seeing...If you can see those role models, it’s that much more encouraging to see yourself get there.” -Jeanette“Our children are our future and I think that our children will model what they see. So we as parents have a responsibility to show our relationship, our partnership, our stance against those things that are derogatory and negative.” -Jeanette“It shows the importance of identity, knowing who you are, to be able to love others.” -Kaylin
