Ant-Racism (Words of Change Series): Powerful Voices, Inspiring Ideas

This week's Anti-Racism Group recommendation is shared by Carolyn Nesbitt.

Sometimes we need to explore powerful voices and inspiring ideas, in small one-page doses but with long-lasting effect, leading to prayer and action. That is the case with a book from 2020: Anti-Racism (Words of Change series): Powerful Voices, Inspiring Ideas, compiled by Kenrya Rankin. In her words, "On the following pages, you will find wisdom, inspiration, and encouragement from people who are doing the work of banishing racism."

A great way for teens, young people, and those new to anti-racism to learn the core ideas and principles of the movement, this vibrant collection of quotes centers today's BIPOC voices from current activists such as Alicia Garza, Ibram X. Kendi, Serena Williams, Darnell Moore, and Jason Reynolds to heroes of the past like Bayard Rustin and Ida B. Wells. Learn more here!
