Yesterday's conversation about racism, responsibility, and white accountability highlighted the opportunity (and need) for continued growth and education around these themes.
There are many resources available--this one linked below offers two free self-paced courses as well as blog posts and links to books.
This is a white professional trying to help advance cultural humility and encourage anti-racism for other whites.

I'd like to add this recommendation.

@Minholkin @Shelter how about we use blm as the hashtag already established here or is there a better phrase that could be used to help link allies of African culture here? A
I generally look askance at white people who hashtag BLM and declare themselves allies.
It's often performative without action, and declaring oneself an ally doesn't make one so.
People who are marginalized are who get to say, "That person is an ally."
Thank you @Shelter for responding, I have seen similar things happen regarding people with additional needs/neurodiversity. Certain phrases can be very problematic.
