Published: Aug. 9, 2020, 10 a.m.

b'Implicit bias - our subconscious associations of race - permeates everything that we do. And we must pursue systemic accountability to fix it. ~ Opal Tometi \\n\\nWe can at least try to understand our own motives, passions, and prejudices, so as to be conscious of what we are doing when we appeal to those of others. This is very difficult, because our own prejudice and emotional bias always seems to us so rational. ~ T.S. Eliot \\n\\nIn order to create a real change, we need to understand unconscious bias as a fundamental social justice issue that gives birth to all kinds of \\u2013isms in our society, not some standalone concept that is nice-to-know. ~ Michelle Kim \\n\\nHeal our inner sight, O God, that we may know the difference between good and evil. Open our eyes that we may see what is true and what is false. Restore us to wisdom that we may be well in our souls. Restore us to wisdom that we and our world may be well. ~ Ruth Haley Barton'
