As we celebrate Juneteenth and reflect on the work against racism still ahead of us, Secretary and Vice President for University Life Kimberly Goff-Crews shares learning resources to watch, listen to, and read. Some of the content was originally compiled by Webflow. The material will be familiar to some readers, new to others, and, it is hoped, inspiring to all.
