The summit at the White House was extraordinary! The first time a US President has brought survivors of white supremacist violence to the White House for a summit.

I’ve often felt we’ve been toiling in the dark since 9/11, trying to wake America to how white supremacy was breaking our bones and ripping our country apart. But on this day, our pain was witnessed — and our work uplifted.

President Biden gave a national address and recognized 16 leaders as “Uniters” healing America. It was among the greatest honors of my life. AND my heart ached for the grief in that room.

For you who have been touched by hate, may you see the love in these pictures and know you are not alone. #UnitedWeStand
