One of the best forms of social change is education, and reading can provide that education.On April 23-26, 2015 the YWCA is taking a stand against racism! We believe that we will not be
able to build sustainable communities if people are excluded based on their race.

Stand Against Racism is a signature campaign of YWCA USA to build community among those
who work for racial justice and to raise awareness about the negative impact of institutional and
structural racism in our communities.

This list highlights the best educational books on racism, movement leaders and books by authors of different races who give insight on the cultures, experiences and issues facing people of different races.
