Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) Resources 

We are collecting and sharing resources that have been recommended by our BCPVPA members and friends. We began this assembly of books, articles, films and podcasts during February's Black History Month, and we will continue to add resources that support and enrich an understanding of diversity, equity and inclusion. We welcome your suggestions for resources that you would like to share: contact us.
