Diversity, Equity, Inclusion
Books
This book by Author Frederick Joseph is a strong recommendation for anyone, but especially as a white person in the U.S. to better understand privilege, build empathy for the experiences of others, and even how to use privilege to override biases/dysfunction (the mall story).
