“In today’s episode, we visit with Carolyn Baker, author of “An Unintentional Accomplice: A Personal Perspective on White Responsibility,” a narrative of one woman’s path to confronting internalized racism, white guilt, and the complexities of racism in America. ⁠n⁠nCarolyn was 62 years old when she learned about the murder of Emmett Till, which sparked a personal investigation into her own personal biases. Starting with her cookie-cutter upbringing in Southern California, Carolyn confronts white privilege with directness and honesty.⁠

Carolyn lives in her native Los Angeles where she is proud to be challenging the status quo along with the multicultural authors of the Black/Brown female-led 2Leaf Press. “⁠

I am from Boston colonists who traded in Black bodies.

I am from Virginia colonists who fled religious persecution.

I am from Kentucky slaveholders and Quaker slave runners.

I am from a military father who sailed the oceans in big ships that smelled of oil, exercising our dominion in the air, land, and sea.

I am from the socially engineering racial segregation of Lakewood, California, “Tomorrow’s City…Today.”

I am from a widowed mother who dealt with her grief through service to the community and a sense of humor.

I am from “White Lives Matter More.”

I am from all those who pointed me to how I might live if I were to turn inward and look honestly at my life and begin to think anew and act anew.
