The word "racism" spelled out in Scrabble tiles
In recent days, you may have seen an essay in the New York Times by Ibram X. Kendi called "An Anti-Racist Reading List," a collection of books that can inform our understanding of racism in America. The list is specifically geared to anti-racism, described by Kendi in this quote from his essay:

"No one becomes “not racist,” despite a tendency by Americans to identify themselves that way. We can only strive to be “antiracist” on a daily basis, to continually rededicate ourselves to the lifelong task of overcoming our country’s racist heritage." 
                                                                  - Ibram X. Kendi
