So you just realized that we're a nation with a crapton of unresolved issues that still plague whole populations of people to this day? You might be asking yourself: "What can I do?"
This is a question that people ask me (MYA NUNNALLY) often (though not often enough) about how they can help combat racial inequality. While the answer varies depending on who you talk to, a central component always seems to be "educate yourself." Books about race are usually well-researched, powerful tools in the war against racism.
