This was shared in Monday’s post, but added late, so I wanted to highlight again… The National Museum of African American History and Culture just launched a new portal called Talking About Race, which is full of resources for discussing, teaching, and learning about race and racism. (Read more about the museum in this KFDC post.)
2. This Pickett’s Charge inspired craft activity from the Hirshhorn looks fun and easy to do. You probably recognize the work from the walls of the museum’s third level. Learn more about it and the artist Mark Bradford, whose work “addresses sociopolitical issues such as race, class, and gender while also engaging art history,” here and more here.

This article on The Cut has more places where donations can be made to help support the struggle against police brutality.
