Some resources shared by local clergy:

Here's a video that makes quite an impact: The Color of Fear (1993). Lee Mun Wah, 90 min. Nine ethnically-diverse men gather for a weekend retreat to discuss how racism affects each of their lives.

A thought-provoking book: Blood Done Sign My Name by Timothy Tyson that I found very powerful.

A book by Ella Mazel (1998): "And don't call me a racist!" that I think is excellent. (Argonaut Press, Lexington, MA)

The People’s Institute for Survival and Beyond (PISAB), is a national and international collective of anti-racist, multicultural community organizers and educators dedicated to building an effective movement for social transformation. www.pisab.org is the organization that heightened my awareness about racism.
