Black Lives Matter: Resources to help Understand

what Actions you can take to Help

​

Black Lives Matter in Our Human Family, and Global Family Travels stands with the black community and other communities of color, and we commit to gain knowledge by reading and listening to black voices to understand how we can help play a role in building a just system to end to help dismantle institutional racism.  We start this important action in sharing some valuable resources we graciously received from friends, colleagues and researching media links, which we hope you can also use to help you learn, discern, take action, and heal.
