Chimamanda Adichie - The Danger of A Single Story
Novellist Chimamanda Adichie warns that if we hear only a single story about another person, place, community or country, we risk a critical misunderstanding. She reminds us how negative stories flatten the experience of the person and overlook the many other stories that form them. Single stories create stereotypes that are not only untrue - they are incomplete. Its stunningly good. Thanks to Anna Gupta for sending.

British Black Panthers - BBC Sounds
The untold story of the years when Black Power came to Britain and forever left its mark - the coming together, political ideas, leaders and legacy. Inspired by the American Black Panther Party, the British Black Panthers were founded in London’s Notting Hill in 1968 – the first Panther organisation outside the United States. Their mission was to change the terms of engagement about race in Britain, promote self-determination and challenge the British state. Writer Kehinde Andrews, who launched the first UK Black Studies degree in Birmingham, meets key former Panthers and the generations that followed them, and – hearing from critics, artists and historians, drawing on a wealth of archive – explores their legacy.

Robin DiAngelo on White Fragility
Author of the book White Fragility, Robin DiAngelo talks about why it is white peoples responsibility to be less fragile, and that stopping racist patterns must be more important than working to convince others that we don't have them (with thanks to Jasmine Chin for sending this video in).
As one of you commented to me recently however, "there is nothing fragile about racism", and the concept of white fragility has many critics, who argue that it is condescending to the black community and reinforces white privilege. You can read more about the critique of white fragility here
