In Letter from Birmingham Jail, Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.  addresses his critics and writes, “Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will.” To be a real ally and advocate for change requires more than just good intentions and lukewarm support; it demands deep understanding and personal accountability.  I worry that I might be just the kind of person with shallow understanding and good will about which Dr. King wrote.
