Creating an Anti-Racist Community
Racism confers dominance and control of one group over another based on social definitions of race. Racism can occur consciously or unconsciously, overtly or subtly. An anti-racist community counters racism at all levels - discriminatory beliefs and behaviors of individuals and organizations, the involuntary segregation of racial/ethnic groups, institutional and structural barriers to equal opportunity and negative cultural stereotypes and images.
