words.
"We must acknowledge the deep racism in our country that leads to increased poverty, profiling and, ultimately, a higher level of crime attributed to young black men. How is this brokenness to be healed?
At the Sisters of Mercy, where I am a member of the leadership team, our missions include unmasking and addressing the underlying causes of and connections between social injustices such as racism and violence. Peace is clearly linked to economic, health and educational opportunities. Addressing these issues, not perpetuating stereotypes, is what will better our world."
