A few helpful recommendations on racism

Re: "Looking for information on racism," Letters to the Editor, Dec. 10:

I recommend two books to start your journey. (Because I also am a teacher. And that is what teachers do! Assign reading.)

"So You Want to Talk About Race" is by Ijeoma Oluo, a Seattle writer. She also has interviews on YouTube, one sponsored by the Seattle Library.

A little heavier reading but more...
