Anti-Racism Resources

The Office of Equity & Inclusion has put together a list of resources so that we can support families and caregivers in talking about race, xenophobia, protest, and standing up for social justice. Please come back periodically for updates. If you have suggested resources (books, articles, movie, podcasts, etc.) that you think would be helpful for fellow parents and caregivers, submit them here.
