This is a good book to read if you want to talk about race. It’s articulated so well and easy to understand. It’s worth the read and rereading. Racism is something that needs to be talked about more.

I’m an educator and this book was super helpful for me and gave me tools that I can use in my classroom. We are really trying to focus on equity, diversity, and inclusion, so this was perfect for me and I’ll be recommending it to others I work with.

I’d been meaning to pick up a copy of this, and I’m so glad the Ford Family Foundation is making it available to Oregonians for free! It’s an important book about hard conversations that we must have, and makes them feel less “scary” to tackle.
