I have a huge A Collection Of Useful Posts, Articles & Videos On Race & Racism – Help Me Find More list, which also includes many “sub” Best lists.  It’s also pretty unwieldy for readers/users.

Many of the resources on that list are there using Storify, a tool that will be going off-line soon.  So, I’m using that change as an opportunity to cull and re-organized those links over the next few months into a series of “New & Revised” Best lists.

In some cases, the lists are artificial divisions, and many of the resources in one can be applied to the other.  But I just thought dividing them in this way would make them more useful to readers and to me.

Here are the ones I’ve revised and updated so far:
