"Our race-influenced culture not only exists, it thrives.  The question is whether it thrives as a virus or a bountiful harvest of possiblities." The Source of Self-Regard: Selected Essays, Speeches, and Meditations of Toni Morrison (Goodby to All That: Race, Surrogacy, and Farewell) page 335

These times demand us to have conversations - truly tell and listen -  parents with children of all ages, children with children, adults with adults, neighbors with each other, stangers with strangers, and then they demand so much more than conversation.  We have put together some books that may help with the beginning of those conversations that then must lead to action. . .

Here are some books which we humbly offer as a starting point for the most important conversations that must begin and continue among families, friends, neighbors, strangers, customers, co-workers, care-givers, responders . . . ALL PEOPLE OF ALL RACES, NATIONALITIES, CREEDS, CITIES, TOWNS, AGES, STORIES, BELIEFS, VOCATIONS, IDENTITIES . . .
