• July 2018

Imagine a workplace where people of all colors and races are able to climb every rung of the corporate ladder -- and where the lessons we learn about diversity at work actually transform the things we do, think and say outside the office. How do we get there? In this candid talk, inclusion advocate Janet Stovall shares a three-part action plan for creating workplaces where people feel safe and expected to be their unassimilated, authentic selves.

Racism without Racists: Color-Blind Racism and the Persistence of Racial Inequality in America

This book addresses the real problems caused by colorblind racism and offers advice on what individuals can do interpersonally and organizations can do structurally to confront and dismantle racism.

Ebony and Ivy: Race, Slavery, and the Troubled History of America's Universities

Slaves were sold to start colleges, expand campuses and pay professors. Slaves waited on faculty and students, and college presidents courted slave owners and traders. This fascinating study shines a light on histories that many institutions have forgotten — or wish they could.

A Country of Strangers: Blacks and Whites in America

How do Black and White people see each other really? What assumptions do they make? How much of what we do is based not in reality but on biases and self-fulfilling prophecies that just look like truth? This book digs deep into the stereotypes and discrimination that drive our behavior and interactions.

The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness

As much as we'd like to believe that we’re in a post-racial society, we simply replaced old social controls like Jim Crow and legal racial segregation with a new one, mass incarceration. The result is a caste system that robs whole generations of liberty and livelihood and distorts the idea of justice.

Guns, Germs and Steel

Real estate isn't the only area where it's all about location, location, location. Diamond argues that providential geography — not intellectual, moral or genetic superiority — gave some cultures a head start that has allowed them to gain and hold on to societal dominance.
