#30DayEducationChallenge: Day 24 Fear

For Day 24 of our #30DayEducationChallenge we are examining fear. We've all seen the classic 'white woman clutches her purse when a Black man walks by her on the sidewalk' and we know it's not right. Why does it happen and how do we stop it?

We have two articles, the first from Ibram X Kendi - the founding NYT Best-Selling Author of Stamped From the Beginning and How to Be an Anti-Racist and the founding Founding Director of the Boston University Center for Antiracist Research. The second article from Aamna Mohdin looks into the history of white fear.
