Shownotes Transcript

Join me as I speak with Robert Brown about his journey with racism, as a black member of the church. Robert joined the church when he was 14 while living on the south side of Chicago. Through the love and acceptance of his ward family, he was able to change the course of his life, leading him to a college education and a promising career, while still dodging the fiery darts of racism. Robert talks about the reality of systematic racism, which he experiences almost daily and offers advice for church members on how they can help reduce the stigma that surrounds people of color.
