Dale P. Andrews of Vanderbilt University Divinity School, the keynote speaker at the university’s annual Martin Luther King Jr. Commemorative Program told his Elon University audience that for American society to overcome its legacy of racism, justice isn’t enough – it requires a reconciliation where the people responsible for segregation and inequality acknowledge their own roles in fomenting oppression.
The scholar of social justice, also implored those who weren’t responsible for slavery or Jim Crow to consider their own culpability in not acknowledging the impact those institutions continue to have on many minorities today.
