This guide, with final session much better developed in terms of helping communities prepare to take action, is a big step forward. A community I used this guide with appreciated how it takes the conversation about race past the 101 level. They particularly liked the community report card section. I have used this section of the Race Guide in conjunction with other guides addressing a broad range of issues. It has proven to be very insightful and effective within communities.

This guide does an excellent job of framing the conversation about race and racism in terms that allows for multi-racial groups and ethnicities to find a place in the conversation without alienating the experiences between blacks and whites in this country. The fact that it couches the challenges of various groups in terms of "equity" opens the door for broader participation and more creative solutions to those challenges.
