You’ve probably received an invitation to an online telesummit - fabulous speakers and it’s free, all you have give is your email address.

For many white people, our first reaction to hearing about racism is to immediately look for a reason to say “That’s not racist!” That said, in conversations I’ve had where people are struggling with this, they have asked for specific ways to work through this.
