Welcome to the Morris Perspective podcast, hosted by Connie Morris, where we dive into hidden narratives of racial injustice. Our latest series, "Under Unequal by Design," begins with an exploration of Walter F. White, a pivotal yet often overshadowed figure in the civil rights movement. Walter, a leader in the NAACP, lived a complex life, navigating the precarious balance of dual identities. This episode sheds light on his unique ability to pass as white, which he utilized to infiltrate white communities and expose the harsh realities of racial violence. Join us as we delve into his courageous efforts to challenge systemic injustice and explore the intersections of identity, advocacy, and racial healing.

Thanks for tuning in to The Morris Perspective Podcast—where we challenge assumptions, expose bias, and explore truth through a justice-centered lens.

Delve into the implications of the phrase, "I don't see color," and understand how it can inadvertently erase important aspects of identity and culture. Connie sheds light on the beauty of diversity as part of God’s divine design, urging listeners to appreciate and honor differences rather than ignore them.

Through insightful discussions backed by scripture, Connie calls for a transformation from colorblindness to recognizing and celebrating diversity. Discover practical steps to affirm identity, explore privilege, and create inclusive spaces where every story is valued.
