BIG SURPRISE TO SEATTLE BLUES
SINGER AND ACTIVIST ANITA WHITE
WHO HAS PERFORMED UNDER THAT
NAME LADY A FOR TICKETS.
SHE SAID SHE FOUND OUT ABOUT IT
ON FACEBOOK.
ON FACEBOOK. >> I'M HOPEFUL AND I'M GOING TO
STAY PRAYERFUL AND I HOPE THAT
THEY WILL REACH OUT TO
EVENTUALLY AND OWN UP TO THEIR
MISTAKE BECAUSE I WANT TO BE IT

MODIFY IT AND GIVING BACK
BECAUSE OF IT.
EVERYTHING IS NOW 10 8. BUT I'M

HEARD.
HEARD.
HEARD. WHEN I'M TALKING TO MY WHITE
FRIENDS AND MY ALLIES THAT ARE
ACTIVISTS ALSO, WHITE PEOPLE
DON'T TALK TO THEIR CHILDREN
ABOUT RACE LIKE BLACK PEOPLE DO.
THIS IS SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO
BE DONE.
BE DONE.
BE DONE. SOMETHING THAT I THINK ALLISE
AND WAITPEOPLE SHOULD REALLY
TALK TO THE.
IT'S ABOUT RACE FROM THE TIME
THEY ARE SMALL.
THE NEED TO TALK TO THEM ABOUT
HOW OTHER PEOPLE AFTERNOON.
"THE TRUTH IS LOUD".
THIS POWER CAN BECAUSE I HAVE
RENTS WHO DON'T KNOW HOW TO
TALK ABOUT RACE.
AND WHITE ALLIED FRIENDS WHO
DON'T NOT. THEY ARE AFRAID.
IT ALL THEM, THIS IS A BRIEF
SPACE.
SPACE.
SPACE. FOR YOU TO COME AND ASK
QUESTIONS.
QUESTIONS. TO TALK ABOUT IT.
THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE THAT I
HAD TO GET ANOTHER SESSION AND
PEOPLE ARE STILL EMAILING ME
EVERY DAY.
EVERY DAY. BECAUSE THEY WANT TO KNOW HOW
TO TALK ABOUT RACE. IT IS
IMPORTANT FOR US TO TALK ABOUT
IT.

WHEN WE TALK AND WE COMMUNICATE
AND WE GO BACK TO THE
