This was a well-researched book that provides actionable steps for folks who are looking for ways to fight racism in the various places of their lives.

Touted as a handbook, rooted in Christian values, Tisby provides a framework - the A.R.C. of Justice - as a playbook for readers to use to evaluate their own relationship with racist ideas, policies, and thoughts. I loved the historical examples shared throughout the book to provide insight that when systems, policies, and personal racist ideologies combine we are unable to actively fight racism.

Tisby explores how racism impacts schools, the criminal justice system, voting, churches, employment and uses current and historical examples of policies and systems in place that have contributed to our racist society. I really loved how Tisby shines a light on performative acts that institutions often partake in passively address issues of diversity, inclusion, and equity within their walls.

I think my one issue with the book evolves around the theme of love. Admittingly, it is the one ideology I often struggle with when moving through anti-racist spaces. Overall, this was a quick and easy read that was filled with actionable ways to continuously confront racism in our day to day lives.
