13 Approaches I’m Using to Talk to My White Family About Anti-Blackness and White Supremacy by Your Fat Friend. "11. Keep a list to track your progress and commitment." I think I'm pushing too hard rather than not hard enough, but it's an interesting thought to make it a formal task and keep track.
400 Hours. $500. When I learned about the death of Latasha Harlins, I decided to make an appointment with myself. by Laura Park. A comic (illustrated story? do we have a better phrase for this kind of art?) about the murder of 15 year old Latasha Harlins in 1991, the lack of justice, and the author's commitment to take action.
9 Essential Reads For Your Racial Justice Conversations by Zenobia Jeffries Warfield. I've read one of these, and heard of three of the other authors. Putting it here for future reference.
