As a white woman, waking up to the implications of her privileged existence, I marvel at the courage of those like Rosa Parks who stand up for what they know to be right and good.

I pray for the courage to step beyond the limitations of my own prejudices that I may become an empowering force.

I love what you said about praying for “the courage to step beyond the limitations of [our] own prejudices that [we] may become an empowering force.”
