Events of this past year have brought racism to the forefront of our minds in the U.S. As today is Martin Luther King Jr. Day, we wanted to provide our readers with some wonderful resources, including anti-racist books, organizations, and podcasts. Please note that this isn't a comprehensive list by any means, but it can be a starting place. If there are any resources that you think we should check out, leave a comment to let us know!
The time is always right to do what is right.
