The Racial Equity Roundtable has curated a list of resources from partners across the country if you are interested in developing your own analysis about race, racism and racial equity. We also encourage you to download and read the report that was released by the Roundtable in 2016 titled The Racial Equity Dividend: Buffalo’s Great Opportunity.
