Resources
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.
Books
If you would like to purchase any of the books listed, consider buying from a local business owned by a person of color such as Zawadi Books.
