Read a book. Watch a conversation. Talk to a neighbor. Make another friend who doesn’t share your background. Shop in a mercado, a black-owned business, or an Asian grocery. Create some anti-racism art. Attend a lecture or event from the Harrison Museum, or Local Colors. There are infinite ways to improve our community for all.
Let’s be present for each other and take action in our own way. Here are some groups, discussions, and resources
- Readers: attend a series of the Roanoke Change Academy
- Be part of a Points of Diversity study circle
- Watch TAP’s Community Conversation on Racism and Equality
- An Incomplete List of Reading on Race in America, compiled by Roanoke Public Library’s Marissa Blankenship
- Join the Roanoke Chapter of the NAACP
- Watch the Ground Zero Barbershop anti-racism video
- Standing for Equity in the Roanoke Valley
- City of Roanoke Equity and Empowerment Advisory Board
