OCCDL Anti-Racism Media Starter

Thank you for your response to our first media starter, celebrating APAHM . Especially with the recent events our nation has experienced , anti-racism was the obvious theme to focus on for this second media starter.
 
Some or many of these writers, titles, artists, and directors may already be familiar names to you. Or, perhaps, only a few. Either is an okay place to continue our common journey. We’ve erred on the side of overinclusion, and aimed to provide different access points to facilitate exploring how to be anti-racist. Responsive to member requests, we have also included leading voices and organizations which you may choose, to give your time or other resources. Please also consider joining @HereWeeRead ’s Reading Together Summer Reading Challenge , and using this checklist/coloring sheet to further expand your reading list.

As always, we welcome your input. Please let us know what has made an impression on you, and what should be included in the next media starter (commemorating Pride). Stay safe and be well.
