African-American Movements & Milestones: 21-Day Anti-Racism Challenge

What is the challenge?

The 21-day challenge is an opportunity to:

• Learn and grow as individuals and as a community
• Foster awareness, compassion and understanding
• Encourage dialogue surrounding difficult topics
• Begin to understand issues of power, privilege, oppression, equity and social justice
• Learn how to better support Black and underrepresented colleagues, students and community members
• Become empowered to confront issues of racial equality

Unlearning your biases is an incredibly difficult task. You cannot become an anti-racist just by deciding you are one. We hope that the topics here will challenge and inspire you. Proceed with an open mind when you see an activity that might be at odds with your beliefs. Those may be the ones that spark the greatest change.
