01 GET ENLIGHTENED

Education (in its many forms) is an antidote to fear.

Fighting racism – even discussing or trying to understand it – can be overwhelming. You can’t sign up for a lifetime of experiences, but you can certainly expose yourself to stories in classic and contemporary literature, news media, movies, television, and music      

Although it’s daunting to immerse yourself in these stories, the first step you can take is to educate yourself. Read about the extent and consequences of racism in everything from primary schools to incarceration, and learn about parallel experiences in your own community and circle of friends.
