He is a powerful speaker about the omnipresence of racism in America and how it is antithetical to Christianity.

You can also check out these resources:

1. Fr. Bryan Massingale's article "The assumptions of white privilege and what we can do about it," from the National Catholic Reporter, Jun 1, 2020.
