This list of scholarly articles from NCFR is provided to help families, educators, researchers, and practitioners educate themselves and others on matters related to the systematic oppression and the persistence of both individual and institutional racism in our society. Before we can discuss or change the discourse on racial discrimination, we must first understand what we know from evidence-based research.

Thank you to Roudi Nazarinia Roy, Ph.D., CFLE, and members of the Ethnic Minorities Section for their recommendations.
