Martha McKinney,
Hector, NY
My Quaker great-great grandfather was a conductor on the Underground Railroad in PA; my Quaker great grandfather fought against slavery in the Civil War; my Quaker forebears refused to buy pretty southern cloth because it was made by enslaved people. Precious stories came down the generations. I want so much to engage in healing conversations, yet I sometimes feel a barricade. Please don’t assume I’m a closet racist because I’m white.
