This year’s theme for Black History Month is “Resistance” and as we transition into BHM, I’d like to announce a challenge that I’d like everyone reading this to consider doing. As has become evident where we operate, and maybe also where you live, there’s been a concerted effort to drown out voices of love and acceptance with voices of exclusion, hatred, and bigotry. In order to resist this we need a more educated populace, especially where fair minded folks are concerned. The time to step up and resist is now.

​

The challenge is to read and do the exercises in “Me and White Supremacy” by Layla F. Saad. The book is arranged into 28 days of journaling exercises. There are several questions a day following each chapter. 

​

If you live in Bucks County, you can obtain this book with a library card, and the Hoopla app (for iPhone or Android), and I’d be willing to bet this applies to those living outside the county as well. It’s also available as an audiobook.

This form is for submitting your answers to any or as many questions as you like, anonymously or not. We’ll select the most thought provoking answers from those submitted to be published in the Bucks County Beacon following February. Every answer is a contender.​
