Shut Down Stem

On June 10 when I logged into my email, I found that some of the main professional organizations in math and statistics were supporting the movement to spend June 10 pausing and reflecting (and even postponing our regular work) on what needs to be done in STEM professions and in educating students in STEM to deal with the situation of people of color in our society.

After reading a couple of dozen postings on one of the listserves,I decided to keep track of links to anything that I felt I might want to read again or recommend to others. Since I have been in conversations with several of you about related topics in the last week or so, I decided to post what I am finding here to support conversations we may have in the future, or in case you would like to use some of the links to browse.
