Wendy is the work’s primary author. Mary, who initially suggested the book, contributed her perspective through visits, phone calls, emails, road trip conversations, and, most recently, texting. These two friends hope their story will encourage white readers to become active in the movement for racial justice, and to be more informed and accountable friends across the racial divides created by white supremacy. HDS alumna Eva Seligman spoke with Wendy and Mary about their friendship and the collaborative process that they came to call “co-creation.”
