If this is your calling, you gotta find a place in it, and you may have to make a place in it.
Chuck Fager is an author and activist who uses his writing to explore his unique positionality as a white man in the Civil Rights Movement.
Fager was very active during the Civil Rights Movement working to get the Voting Rights Act passed, and much of his writing reflects on his experiences and observations of the world at that time.
Fager feels it is important for people to understand that systemic racism is all around us. He believes that understanding our proximity to racism helps us realize how easy it is to fight it, in small ways, every single day.
Fager’s most famous work is his book Selma 1965: The March that Changed the South. It focuses on the voting rights movement in Selma, Alabama and the path to the Voting Rights Act.
