We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of Country throughout Australia, and recognise their continuing connection to land, waters and culture. Julius Lester does a great job presenting the idea of race and how sometimes people form opinions about others before getting to know them. I want to continue to support employers to open up the conversation, sign the Race at Work Charter and address disparities as they come to light while being transparent about the actions they are taking to do so. But it is not an in-depth exploration of what race is and how it affects people's lives and stories.

Every teacher needs to take racism seriously and push for a more diverse and representative education system. One of the key findings from Business in the Community’s (BITC’s) Race at Work 2015 survey of 24,457 people, the Race at Work 2018 survey of 24,310 people and the 2021 survey of 24,638 people was that employees from all ethnicities in the workplace said that their employers were not comfortable talking about race.This book is a great guide for any librarian who is looking to create more diverse and inclusive storytimes at their libraries but don’t know where to start. To lay out the purpose, intent and scope of 'Let's Talk About Race and Racism', we created a statement of commitment for the College. Our student and staff toolkits offer know-how such as context, definitions, and issues at play, practical measures and tactics at hand that will help to develop a much needed anti-racist culture at UCL.

Lester's poignant picture book helps children learn, grow, discuss, and begin to create a future that resolves differences.

To become anti-racist we need to make an active and conscious effort to work against all aspects of overt and systemic racism. Your team has always been quick to respond, and always found solutions to problems; there was never a question that couldn't be addressed. Suppose, just suppose, one day we -- I mean everyone in the whole world -- decided to take off all our clothes and all our skin and all our hair.
