Young Black Changemakers and the Road to Racial Justice tells the stories of how Black youth become changemakers and speaks to researchers, educators, community organizations, and the public. Through many kinds of action, Black youth are driven by a larger purpose to improve the world for Black people. Black families and Black-centered organizations support and sustain Black youth's civic engagement. Investing in community-based organizations benefits young Black changemakers, and Black identity and community can offer belonging and joy. Black youth's stories call us to root out anti-Blackness in schools, on social media, and in public discourse. Black youth bring society hope for the future and point the way forward on the road to racial justice.

When it comes to injustice, especially racial injustice, rage isn't just an acceptable response-it's crucial in order to fuel the fight for change. Anger has a bad reputation. Many people think that it is counterproductive, distracting, and destructive. It is a negative emotion, many believe, because it can lead so quickly to violence or an overwhelming fury. And coming from people of color, it takes on connotations that are even more sinister, stirring up stereotypes, making white people fear what an angry other might be capable of doing, when angry, and leading them to turn to hatred or violence in turn, to squelch an anger that might upset the racial status quo. According to philosopher Myisha Cherry, anger does not deserve its bad reputation. It is powerful, but its power can be a force for good. And not only is it something we don't have to discourage, it's something we ought to cultivate actively. People fear anger because they paint it in broad strokes, but we can't dismiss all anger, especially not now. There is a form of anger that in fact is crucial in the anti-racist struggle today. This anti-racist anger, what Cherry calls "Lordean rage," can use its mighty force to challenge racism: it aims for change, motivates productive action, builds resistance, and is informed by an inclusive and liberating perspective. People can, and should, harness Lordean rage and tap into its unique anti-racist potential. We should not suppress it or seek to replace it with friendly emotions. If we want to effect change, and take down racist structures and systems, we must manage it in the sense of cultivating it, and keeping it focused and strong. Cherry makes her argument for anti-racist anger by putting Aristotle in conversation with Audre Lorde, and James Baldwin in conversation with Joseph Butler. The Case for Rage not only uses the tools of philosophy to articulate its arguments, but it sharpens them with the help of social psychology and history. The book is philosophically rich and yet highly accessible beyond philosophical spheres, issuing an urgent call to all politically and socially engaged readers looking for new, deeply effective tools for changing the world. Its message will resonate with the enraged and those witnessing such anger, wondering whether it can help or harm. Above all, this book is a resource for the activist coming to grips with a seemingly everyday emotion that she may feel rising up within her and not know what to do with. It shows how to make sure anger doesn't go to waste, but instead leads to lasting, long-awaited change.

How business leaders can move their DEI efforts from intention to impact through strategy and culture change.In the aftermath of George Floyd’s murder, corporate America has doubled down on its public intentions to be more inclusive and equitable. Yet beyond the pledges it is difficult to see which system changes make a real difference. In From Intention to Impact, Malia Lazu draws on her background as a community organizer, her corporate career as a bank president, and now her experience as a leading DEI consultant to explain what has been holding organizations back and what they need to do better. First and foremost, she recognizes that truly moving from intention to impact means targeting and changing the traditions and culture that normalize whiteness.From Intention to Impact shows what organizations, leaders, and people at all levels must do to create more inclusive environments that honor and value diversity. Lazu shares a seven-stage guide through this process as well as a 3L model of listening, learning, and loving that readers can use from the initial excitement of doing “something” to the frustration when the inevitable pushback comes, and finally to the determination to do the hard work despite the challenges—on corporate and political fronts. Most compelling, From Intention to Impact shows that, while commitment from the top is paramount, for DEI to be most effective, it needs to be decentralized—among managers, within teams, and across the organization.A crucial read for anyone looking to future-proof their company, From Intention to Impact goes beyond the “feel good” PR-centric actions to showcase the real DEI work that must be done to create true and lasting systemic change.

« Nous fûmes huit ans au pouvoir. Nous avons construit des écoles, créé des institutions de bienfaisance, édifié et entretenu le système pénitentiaire, financé l'instruction des sourds-muets, reconstruit les bacs. En résumé, nous avons reconstruit l'État et l'avons placé sur la voie de la prospérité. » Ces paroles ont été prononcées en 1895 par Thomas Miller, un élu de Caroline du Sud, alors que l'expérience de démocratie multiraciale aux États-Unis s'y achevait par le retour au pouvoir de la suprématie blanche. Dans cette importante collection d'essais, précédés de notes éclairantes rédigées après coup, Ta-Nehisi Coates fait retentir les échos tragiques de ce passé dans les événements actuels : l'élection sans précédent d'un président noir, Barack Obama, suivie d'un contrecoup haineux et de l'élection de l'homme qui selon Coates, est « le premier président blanc ». Mais le livre ne porte pas seulement sur la présidence des États-Unis, bien que celle-ci demeure en filigrane du début à la fin. Il examine aussi le temps présent à la lumière d'évènements historiques comme la guerre de Sécession, de personnalités emblématiques comme Malcom X, de programmes politiques comme l'incarcération de masse, qui ont profondément marqué la société américaine. Ta-Nehisi Coates est correspondant du mensuel américain The Atlantic. Son livre Between The World and Me (Une colère noire, lettre à mon fils, Autrement) a été récompensé par le National Book Award en 2015. Il est également lauréat du Prix MacArthur. Il habite à New York avec sa femme et son fils.
