Introduction
The past month has been wrought with pain, protest, anger, and a call for change. These are not new issues, new pain, or new problems.  What are we doing as a mostly-white profession to address systemic racism brought to light by Black Lives Matter and other social justice movements, both inside and outside the library walls? What can we do to promote anti-racism work in professional development, public programming, policies, and our spaces? There are so many questions out there and it's up to us to use our amazing research, leadership, and reading skills to do the work. There are so many resources and trainings circulating-see  just a few in the list to the right.
