SILENCING WHITE NOISE Six Practices to Overcome Our Inaction on Race Willie Dwayne Francois III
Racism is omnipresent in American life, both public and private. We are immersed in what prominent Black church leader Willie Dwayne Francois III calls white noise—the racist speech, ideas, and policies that lull us into inaction on racial justice. White noise masks racial realities and prevents constructive responses to microaggressions, structural inequality, and overt interpersonal racism. Drawing from his antiracism curriculum, the Public Love Organizing and Training (PLOT) Project, Francois calls people of all races to engage six “rhythms of reparative intercession” to silence white noise, advance racial repair, and develop lifelong Christian antiracist practices.
Willie Dwayne Francois III (DMin, Candler School of Theology) is assistant professor of lib- eration theology at New York Theological Seminary and directs a master’s degree program at Sing Sing Correctional Facility. He also serves as senior pastor of Mount Zion Baptist Church in Pleasantville, New Jersey, and as president of the Black Church Center for Justice and Equality.
