ANTI-RACISM RESOURCES

Hello everyone, I would like to share some of the images I captured during the “Black Lives Matter” protest that took place in London yesterday. It was a very beautiful moment that brought together people from lots of different backgrounds, social classes and ages. How amazing would it be if "real life" was just as inclusive as yesterday's protest? For that to happen, we have to educate ourselves and get out of our comfort zone. It is not our black friends' responsibility to educate us. It is up to us, white people, to seek knowledge. Therefore, I'd like to share a list formulated by the journalists, Pandora Sykes and Dolly Alderton, that I believe to be very helpful. If you have more suggestions do not hesitate to share them in the comments, I will be happy to add them to the list.

Olá a todos, hoje partilho convosco as imagens que capturei durante o protesto que se concretizou em Londres no contexto do movimento “Black Lives Matter”. Foi um momento muito bonito que reuniu pessoas de várias etnias, classes e idades. Não seria maravilhoso se a sociedade na “vida real” fosse um espaço tão inclusivo como o de ontem? Para tal acontecer, temos que nos educar e sair da zona de conforto. Não cabe aos nossos amigos negros educar-nos. Cabe-nos a nós, aos brancos, procurar o conhecimento. Assim sendo, partilho aqui uma lista formulada pelas jornalistas Pandora Sykes e Dolly Alderton que julgo ser bastante útil para todos. Se tiverem mais sugestões (especialmente em português) não hesitem em partilhá-las nos comentários, terei todo o gosto em acrescentá-las à lista.
