Testimonial:
"I recently had the pleasure of attending a talk by Paul Kendrick hosted by my church's Education Committee. We knew Paul had been working tirelessly for years in the field of social justice, and particularly in opposition to racism, and in researching three published books related to this topic in American history. So we expected him to have something to say on how to talk about biases; more importantly, how to think about it, and how to be more aware of how our understanding might differ from that of those experiencing prejudice in their own lives.
Well, I must say he outperformed our expectations. We all found his advice well thought out, and informed by his own experiences, which he shared with self-deprecating humor when called for. We were so impressed we requested that he send us a bullet-point summary, which he did.
I can heartily recommend Paul as a speaker on this topic as well as on any other which he is similarly passionate about. He helps you talk the talk and walk the walk!"
