And, the most powerful TikTok videos that sum up racial injustice in the U.S. circulating now are as intellectually and emotionally resonant as you'd expect.
For those looking to glean some new additions to their reading list, Bradford Douglas waxes poetic on works by anti-racist works by Carol Anderson and Ta-Nehisi Coates. Or, for a profound reflection on the difference between the "have's" and the "have-not's" in history and today, comedian Trevor Noah breaks it down for us. Then, Mecca Verdell wraps up the detriment of cultural appropriation with a pointed spoken-word poem.
Be sure to watch, engage, and share the clips below, in an effort to recirculate a wave of vital content that speaks loudly.
