Today marks one year since Mike Brown was murdered in Ferguson. Since then too many other lives of unarmed brown and black men and women have been lost. This must stop. Today I am re-posting a list of sites for you to visit and learn about what you can do to stop racism and violence against people of color. I will silence my voice today and hand the platform to them. I will not, however, sit back and do nothing because that would make me complicit in perpetuating racism and I that would be wrong. This is a small sampling of writers and resources but it is a place to start. Read, listen, follow, embrace, do something. Black Lives Matter.
