BFC Fam: R. Matthew Webber

He is a proud third-generation coal worker from a conservative, Catholic family in a small Midwestern town, concerned about his younger sister attending college in urban areas. With little experience in diverse communities, he joined BlackFamilyChat to learn more and share his conservative viewpoints on political and social issues. Protective of his background and his sister’s identity, he is wary of the urban environment she may head into, and needs to decide if he will support or discourage her from doing so.
