Anti-Racism Resources: December 2020
Each month, we will be featuring educational resources on the NAAFA Community Voices Blog. Some resources will be historic information about systemic racism. Others will be resources on doing the internal work of understanding ourselves and how we play a part in that system. There will also be actions that can be taken to directly oppose racism. You can find more resources on the NAAFA website at https://naafa.org/anti-racism.

Slavery is sometimes referred to as the country's original sin, but it is more than that: It is central to the country's very origin.
