Anti-Racism Resources
It is only when we grapple with the prejudiced legacy of health care and access that we can truly improve a system that has not served us all equally, but one day can. While we have a long way to go, we continue the deep and meaningful discussions about what’s next for the College of Pharmacy in our collective anti-racism work. Our students, faculty, and staff are committed to supporting each other and embracing our sincere commitment to equity for all.

Deconstructing Privilege
Dr. Robin DiAngelo is the author of "What Does it Mean to Be White? Developing White Racial Literacy" and has been an anti-racist educator, and has heard justifications of racism by white men and women in her workshops for over two decades. This justification, which she calls “white fragility,” is a state in which even a minimum amount of racial stress becomes intolerable, triggering a range of defensive moves.
