Organizing White People to Show Up for Racial Justice

This digital story explores more contemporary manifestations of whites organizing other whites by profiling Showing Up for Racial Justice (SURJ), a local and national network organizing white communities to join with people of color in ending racism. The project grew out of the University of Louisville’s Anne Braden Institute for Social Justice Research, namesake to longtime Louisville-based anti-racist journalist Anne Braden. A coalition of historians, students, and workers connected to the Institute partnered with a community group called Louisville Showing Up for Racial Justice, or LSURJ, to create two digital stories that examine the ways that the 1966 call to “organize your own” infused organizing for racial equity in and around Louisville. These stories juxtapose oral history audio snippets with relevant historic images and artifacts. The creative and production team included graduate student Wes Cunningham (lead oral historian and narrator), community activist Carla Wallace of LSURJ, historian Lara Kelland, technology assistants Jamie Beard and Nia Holt, and Braden biographer and Institute director Cate Fosl.
