- 选诗是一种精神上的练习，你要“读”一首诗, text, art, music, nature, or an interaction four times. The first time, you read just to get your bearings. 第二次，你读来听诗要对你说什么. The third time, you respond. 第四次，你在感恩中休息，感谢你所拥有的经历. 观看视频，用兰斯顿·休斯的诗歌《365亚洲体育》来指导选歌会.
- Check out the 治愈种族创伤的“黑人的命也重要”冥想和培养反种族主义心态的“盟友+同谋”冥想 written and recorded by Dr. Candice Nicole, music provided by Richard Maddox. They are 17 minutes long each.
