There are a few essays referenced in this article, I'd never seen them before or to be honest heard of Mr Laymon before some radio article last week. I'm 50 pages into Robin DiAngelos' book on White Fragility, and I have to admit and say that this group & members have expanded my knowledge and increased my curiosity and enlarged my library over the last several years. So thanks
