God leads us to love our brothers and sisters without exception. That includes recognizing and defeating racism wherever we encounter it in ourselves and in our society.

Listed below are books, articles, podcasts and videos that will help you understand how racism has infiltrated the hearts and minds of our nation-- even good people's hearts and minds. Let's open ourselves to learn and to empower change!
