This website was created as my culminating project at San Francisco State University's School of Social Work. It is intended as an introduction to whiteness, race, and antiracism in the United States. I am a white woman who works in social services and I speak from the knowledge and ignorance that comes from this standpoint. I welcome the comments and feedback of anyone who reads the website.
