The book, The Spiritual Journey to Antiracism: A Travel Guide for White People, resulted from Henderson’s life journey and learning. It is a compassionate but no-holds-barred conversation about the invisible script of white supremacy that infects every white person in the United States. It also provides a pathway to finding your way out of the script and rewriting a new one. Today, Daniel lives in Washington, Iowa, and is the Director of “Washington for Justice,” a grassroots advocacy group that works to make that community inclusive, diverse, and welcoming for all people. He also continues to teach American History at a local community college.
Daniel Henderson’s latest book will challenge every white person to consider taking a journey toward antiracism. But the journey isn’t always easy, filled with detours and side roads. Henderson will be your guide through this journey, starting at the Plantation of Whiteness, where you will discover the white supremacist script that you’ve been given without your knowledge or approval; next you experience the Garden of White Privileges where you’ve been enjoying the fruit of the garden thinking you were the ones to plant it, but finding out people of color bear the burden. The map shows you the rest of the journey. It is an inner spiritual quest to become antiracist.
