In Becoming Trustworthy White Allies, longtime antiracist facilitator Melanie S. Morrison outlines the actions white people must undertake to become partners in the work of racial justice. In this collection of essays, lectures, and real-life stories, Morrison addresses how white people can navigate the obstacles to becoming an ally so that they can step up with courage, humility, and consistency to participate in BIPOC-led organizations while helping move other white people to greater antiracist awareness and action. Morrison describes the required steps toward allyship: moving through shame and guilt, nurturing truth-telling relationships of support and accountability, challenging practices and policies that protect white privilege, moving out of social segregation, working from a place of self-love, and staying on the antiracist journey. Now, as always, it is imperative that white people commit to doing the deep work and learning required to become lifelong trustworthy allies.
