Summary

In this essay I hope to convey some of my observations over the past decade, to help courageous organizations understand the scope of what we undertake when we take anti-racism work seriously.

Could diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) work be the most socially and personally challenging work in the United States? In taking on DEI, relatively small workplace cultures are working against hundreds (if not thousands) of years of national cultural pressures. Cultural change is not a common subject in our schools and universities, so American minds are not well prepared. However, there is movement, people have started programs, and those who are paying attention, are learning.
