Born of Conviction: White Methodists and Mississippi’s Closed Society by Joseph Reiff

Joseph Reiff’s study of how a minority of white Methodists challenged segregation in 1960s Mississippi provides a framework for a discussion about faith-based resistance to racial injustice in general. How can we learn from and build on the work of the Civil Rights Movement in our own time? What role can those who benefit from white privilege play?
