A discussion panel "How to Put Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion into Action at the Libraries." Equity, diversity, and inclusion initiatives and practices have been discussed widely in the library world for several years. How can libraries go beyond talk? Panelists will discuss current issues and challenges in diversity, equity, and inclusion in libraries including staffing, collections, services, and programming.

Using examples from their own research, organizing, and media work, Todd Wolfson and Chenjerai Kumanyika will discuss how Black Lives Matter is a response to long-held racial disparities. They will also explore how the movement has critiqued systemic racism in criminal justice and consider how this fight intersects with historic and contemporary labor struggles.
