TED Talk from Baratunde Thurston
Baratunde Thurston explores the phenomenon of white Americans calling the police on black Americans who have committed the crimes of ... eating, walking or generally "living while black." In this profound, thought-provoking and often hilarious talk, he reveals the power of language to change stories of trauma into stories of healing -- while challenging us all to level up.

Read moreTerrific book about The Great Migration detailing the plight of people escaping the Jim Crow South
Know moreThis book discusses how America began leveraging our laws and criminal justice system to suppress black Americans. It made me realize just how DEEPLY systemic racism is in current American society.
Know moreThis book does and should make you uncomfortable as a white person reading it. It shines a light on all facets of racism in white America, including passive forms of it you may be participating in but not aware of. This book above all others made me become truly introspective of my own racial biases and how to address them
Know moreKendi does an incredible job walking through what it means to not be "not a racist" but rather ANTI-racist. His illustrations via history, US law, and his own personal experiences show white people what true allyship looks like and how to take action effectively against systemic racism
Know moreAt once a powerful evocation of James Baldwin's early life in Harlem and a disturbing examination of the consequences of racial injustice, the book is an intensely personal and provocative document. It consists of two "letters," written on the occasion of the centennial of the Emancipation Proclamation, that exhort Americans, both black and white, to attack the terrible legacy of racism. Though this was written at the height of the Civil Rights Movement, Baldwin's words and experiences still ring painfully true and familiar in 2020
