Are White Christians under a spiritual mandate to make racial equity a priority?Clifford Williams taught philosophy at Christian colleges for many years, including a course on race.

He asks the haunting question, ""Why do White people react so strongly to Black power?"" He explains why widespread church integration in the United States may never exist. He unpacks the concept of White identity and links police brutality to faulty moral perception.This book gently explains what White Christians need to do to make racial equity a priority.
