Privilege Walk Questions on Independence Day - Pastor's Vlog "Monday's Muse" Ep. 48 HD

On this beautiful Independence Day Fourth of July in the USA, I am reflecting on what it means to be free. Privilege Walk is a now-classic classroom exercise based on the work of Peggy McIntosh at Wellesley College: “Paper 189 - White Privilege and Male Privilege” (1988). Questions in this episode come from McIntosh and derivatives. The questions we used can be found at the bottom of this video description. Try it with a group – your living room or sidewalk is fine. What do you think? Happy Independence Day! Be a blessing! Leave your comments below! This is Episode #48 in the Monday’s Muse Video series, featuring the Rev. Dr. Rachael Keefe of Minneapolis.
