White allies

White Allies are those members of the dominate culture (in the United States), who actively resist the role of oppressor, and who act as allies of people of color. There have been and are white people throughout history who engage in antiracist activities.

Some of these people are Morris Dees, the executive director of the Southern Poverty Law Center; Virginia Foster Durr; Lois Stalvey; and William Sloane Coffin.
