Breaking the pernicious patterns of racism is a process that is recursive, ongoing, and strenuous. This list of resources is a place to begin, and will be added to as items are shared.

There is much work to be done. Please join us in your own personal journey towards becoming anti-racist.

This is not a comprehensive guide. Rather it is meant to be a starting point, or one resource for white people interested in doing the work to become anti-racist. This is meant to be one part of your understanding of the societal constructs of racism as they occur in our daily lives.

Here is a list of some organizations that can help parents and teachers fight racism:
