In this article, Anna North discusses ‘what it means to be anti-racist’ by distinguishing ‘not racist’ from ‘anti racist’.

‘Not racist’ is defined as mere statement and stance of neutrality whereas ‘Anti racist’ is defined as a practice that actively opposes systemic racism. North refers to the history of anti-racism, which has its roots in abolition, the post emancipation society and 20^th century civil rights movements to illustrate that it’s not sufficient to be a non-racist.

Additionally, North provides recommendations and several resources to practice and commit to anti racism.
