Racial Inequality Webinar and Resources

After writing The Fight Against Racial Inequality Persists, we were inspired to host a webinar addressing racial inequality. Following our live webinar with Christopher J. Harris and Edwin "Ed" Narain, we wanted to #ShineItForward™ by providing a complete complimentary recording of our presentation. In addition, we have provided a list of supplemental resources that address racial inequality, how to talk about it, and how to lean in to change it.
