Dear White Catholics:
It's time to be anti-racist and leave white fragility behind

This article by Andrew Lyke was published by America Magazine on November 30, 2020, the last day of Black Catholic History Month. It is a message from a lifelong Black Catholic to White fellow Catholics in the wake of the televised "lynching" of George Floyd, the murder of Breonna Taylor by police, and the murder of Ahmaud Arbery by white vigilantes, among other white supremacist atrocities that same year. 

At the end of the article there is link to a podcast in which Andrew Lyke was interviewed on America Media leading up to the 2020 presidential election.
