Faith Leaders across Wisconsin are increasingly disturbed at attempts to mislead citizens using both religious and patriotic venues. This undermines positive efforts to acknowledge and dismantle the racism that has characterized the laws and history of our country from its earliest days.</span></span></span></span></span></span></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height:115%;"><span style="color:black;">Some citizens are trying to ignore or deny racism’s reality. Their efforts are troubling. As American citizens, we need to accept our history, including the mistakes. SOPHIA believes that our citizens are not too fragile to cope with the history of what racism has done - and is doing - to oppress others: The truth will set us all free.</span></span></span></span></p>
