"This book highlights the work of one organization, Rise for Racial Justice, which launched a public racial literacy campaign in 2020, when the nation's interest in learning about and exploring the history and present reality of anti-Black police violence was at a high. Protests following the murder of George Floyd focused the public's attention on anti-Black racism - sparking calls for racial justice. There was a resulting demand for anti-racism training to help K-12 educators, parenting adults and young people make sense of the on-going twin pandemics of anti-Black racism and white supremacy.

This book shares curricula, pedagogical strategies, tools and practices that support the learning and engagement of adult and youth learners in this process"--
