Resources for Antiracism
This article is now considered a "classic" by anti-racist educators. It has been used in workshops and classes throughout the United States and Canada for many years. While people of color have described for years how whites benefit from unearned privileges, this is one of the first articles written by a white person on the topics.

The Antiracism Transformational Team of the Sinsinawa Dominicans seeks to communicate with other groups who are involved in antiracism work.
The antiracism team facilitates the Sinsinawa Dominican commitment to examine and redefine all aspects of our life and mission so that we may embody our identity as an anti-racist, multicultural institution. And so each year it promotes the 2 1/2 day workshop “Understanding and Analyzing Systemic Racism,” offered by Crossroads Ministries.

Caucusing is used by Crossroads to strengthen the team. Caucus groups consist of people of color caucus and white people caucus. Each group explores questions about how racism impacts their work on the team. Then the two caucus groups come back together as a team and share their insights. They are then better able to understand, confront and dismantle racism within the team itself and within the institutional setting of which it is a part. Caucusing creates a foundation upon which to build concrete organizing strategies for People of Color and Whites to work together as antiracist allies.
We have extended the caucus by having monthly caucus groups meet by phone and report into each other by using email. Every member who takes the Crossroads training is encouraged to join a monthly caucus group.
We encourage your questions about caucus. We will respond to your questions by way of this web page.
