Feedback Survey
When your library board agrees to form an antiracism team and passes a social justice resolution, how do you create concrete and lasting change within a bureaucratic, racist structure that was set up to serve white people exclusively? Staff and community members from Kalamazoo Public Library’s Antiracism Team will discuss challenges and victories over three years of antiracist organizing from the inside. Session participants will formulate strategies and tools for creating institutional change.
