What is Antiracism?
What is Antiracism?
"Anti-Racism is defined as the work of actively opposing racism by advocating for changes in political, economic, and social life. Anti-racism tends to be an individualized approach and set up in opposition to individual racist behaviors and impacts." -- Race Forward
"An anti-racist is someone who is supporting an antiracist policy through their actions or expressing antiracist ideas. This includes the expression or ideas that racial groups are equals and do not need developing, and supporting policies that reduce racial inequity." -- Ibram X. Kendi
"In a racist society, it is not enough to be non racist. We must be antiracist." -- Angela Davis

Talking About Race: Being Antiracist
- Talking About Race: Being Antiracist
From the National Museum of African American History and Culture's "Talking About Race" website. "Being antiracist results from a conscious decision to make frequent, consistent, equitable choices daily. These choices require ongoing self-awareness and self-reflection as we move through life. In the absence of making antiracist choices, we (un)consciously uphold aspects of white supremacy, white-dominant culture, and unequal institutions and society. Being racist or antiracist is not about who you are; it is about what you do."
